    Happened across this on YouTube. This is some Scottish guy (ironically with no real accent himself) doing a few accents from around the world. It's quite funny really.

    This other one is a few of the many, many accents across of Britain. Certainly not all them, just a few. On the whole, the accents are pretty accurate. If you're wondering, I sound a bit like the Yorkshire one he mentions, the 4th one he does I think, not sure. A bit more of a twist to it, and a faster rhythm to it, as I'm from Derbyshire.

    Quite funny stuff, and probably educational to people (specially our American cousins) who use the term 'British accent'.. which one!!

    Bah, he can't even do a decent Dutch accent. Speaking English with a Dutch accent must be pretty hard, 'cause I never heard a non-Dutchie do it properly. Listen to this bald guy ask a few questions in English and you'll hear how dreadful a Dutch accent really sounds.
