Quote - The problem with most attempts at a Brit accent is the simple fact there isn't "a" Brit accent, there are hundreds, all different.  Even my home town, Sheffield, has at least 4 quite distinct ones.  Non Brits may not be able to tell the difference between the 4 at first but to a local they say a lot about the socio economic background of the speaker.

You can say exactly the same about American accents as well, except maybe you can double the amount...lol. Right here where I live in Pennsylvania, the accent is different than that of only miles west. In fact, the town where I grew up we have almost a twang to our speech - not quite a southern accent, but going in that direction. Just two towns over, it's different ;o).
