Bob Hope (Who was born in England) is supposed to have said: If you suddenly wake up an Englishman, he'll talk just like anyone else.

That said, I like accents but I can't think of any favo(u)rites. For one, I can't identify the various regions of the UK from which individual accents come. I can, on occasion, identify European accents when they are speaking English.

Someday I hope to see (and hear) a group of Americans who hail from all parts of the USA. Just for starters: an Alabaman, a Georgian, a North Carolinian, a Louisianan, a Texan... even though they are close geographically their accents, phrasings and idioms are distinctly different.

Add to the mix, someone from Maine, one from Jersey, another from Buffalo, NY, a Kansan, a Missourian... and we haven't even crossed the Rockies yet.
