I don't think the English have an "accent" as much as a "coloration of speech" with some words not familiar to Americans or Canadians. But then, I'm from Milwaukee (wisconsin) and I usta live by Schusters where the streetcar bends the corner around. By where the bubbler is, by the bakery where they sell schnecks! Sweetrolls. Come by my house and holler me out when yous wants ta hang with me! I'll show ya around.

I sure hope them Hobbits ain't speakin' Amurican (what ever THAT is) Hit'l be a hard git-by sure enough! and anyway who sez we won't understand them Brits? have they forgotten that Monty Python was (and still is in some circles) the most popular comedy series ever in the US? At least at my house.
