I really love accents and the way British people talk. It just seems like everything they say is pure gold. I also never care what they are saying, just the accent sounds beautiful. Oh if I could live in a city where everyone spoke this way it would be so wonderful.
If we Brits sound cultured and intelligent, that's because many of us are.
It's not bad.
What is bad is hearing colonials butcher such a beautifully rich and complex language. So if you live where they speak "English" but it's not in the UK, I feel bad for you. I put up with it as well, it's irritating.
Well thank you for the compliment of our accent! Can i assume that you're American? I only hazard a guess because it's as much of a cliché that americans love the British accent as it is that all brits have bad teeth (mine are straight, no fillings). So as far as fufilling clichés go you're pretty normal !
One of the good things about the UK is the enormous diversity of accents: we don't all talk like Hugh Grant. You should Google Russel Brand or Paloma Faith talking, then imagine a city populated by people with their accents. You might change your mind...
Now the Scottish accent... that can be quite lovely, if a little difficult to understand at times.
Some of them are nice and some of them are horrible. David Beckham sounds like a nineteenth century chimney sweep.
