I'm a yankee who, try as I might, has never succeeded in singing "The Womble Bashers of Walthamstow" with an American accent.

Allows people to stand out amongst their peers without having to grow their hair in a complete circle around their head. Plus it is fun to have such local events as "Talk Like Camilla Day", or for her husband "What's Up, Chuck?", or "What's Really in the Sheep's Stomach?"

Its a subtle ploy for the British to retake the US. When they get us to say "aluminum" like they do...they've won.

@LD Careful, those Brits can be pretty sneaky.

Could be worse, could be Scottish accents
