If you can do that in a British accent, no matter how bad it is, you will immediately be pundit material in the USA. And also more attractive!

  Moving from a British university to an American one, I noticed this. People listened to me more. Scary.

  I wonder if that also applies to someone from the Hebrides. I used to have a supervisor from there, and even his English coleagues often had problem to understand his dialect.... Or is "British" still an euphemism for "English"?

    I think in this exact usage it's a euphemism for some kind of specific London accent that I don't actually know the name for.
