I have a really bad habit of picking up accents accidently.
If I'm around an accent for long enough I'll start to mimick it without even thinking. It get's a little embarrassing when the cute scottish backpackers think your just trying to make fun of them.
In AU taxi drivers are required to take you via the most direct route unless directed otherwise. If they start to mess you around then ask for thier license number and right it down, it normally sorts them out pretty quick.i want one too, it would make my life easier.

Once upon a time, Britain was an Empire that circled the globe. That Empire had a great navy, to keep itself together, expand itself, etc. Back in those days, there was still a serious risk of scurvy on long sea voyages. British seamen were fed limes to boost their vitamin C and ward-off scurvy. They got a bit of a reputation for it, hence the name.Originally posted by MetaformX

MYTH. The smallish percentage of the population that have REALLY nasty teeth are either really old people or people that smoke way too much. The old people may not bother with toothbrushes but the smokers just kill their teeth and gums by smoking 60 a day.Originally posted by OneHungLo

Everybody in england speaks the queens english, its the law.. except for peasants who are not allowed to speak and are only good for minding the horses.. so if you want to learn proper english just listen to the queen and always keep a stiff upper lip.
Common uses for english accents include..
- picking up cheap whores in the US of A
- insulting the natives
- conning americans
Of course its well known that englands finest secret agents speak with scottish or irish accents - this is to confuse the enemy.
If you want to learn scottish simply get hold of some Rab Nesbitt videos and you'll be talking gibberish in no time.Comment

Something else that most Americans don't realise is that the English language is only a few hundred years old. Until the "Queen's English Act" of 1642 (which made it an offence to conduct business in any language other than "Official English", or "The Queen's English" as it is now more commonly referred to), there were several different languages in use in England (plus a few more in Scotland, Ireland and Wales). Naturally this caused quite a lot of confusion, so at the beginning of the 1600's an official language was developed out of the other languages in use in England (similar to how "Esperanto" is an amalgamation of many different languages).
"The Queen's English" is actually an amalgamation of the following languages (listed with the areas of the country where they were most commonly used):
Latin (a remnant of the Roman occupation, used all over England)
Cornish (Far southwest England)
Wurzel (Southwest England)
Cockney (London and southeast)
Brum (Central England)
By-eckian (Northeast)
Wayaymon (North)
Brookie (Northwest)
Despite "The Queen's English" being the only official English language since 1642, these regional languages are still widely used today, and many common "English" words are from these dialects. For example, the word "Pubb" was originally a Wurzel word for a building where apples were stored prior to them being used to make cider. It is just coincidence that "Pub" is short for "Public House", which is where most people think the name comes from.Comment
