That's because they are gypsies genius. And if you are talking about Tommy, Turkish etc then they don't have a normal English accent, they have a rougher northern accent.

Yes! Absolutely. Is it so weird a concept? Lol. Basically both go in the same tap and you can regulate how warm/cold you want it by simply moving the handle right/left and regulate how much water you want by moving it up/down. |
Haha! Just forgot what my tap looked like, I had to go and check xD
Anyway, the bathroom tap is just one nozzle with two knobs either side, one hot and one cold which you can twist to make the water whatever temperature you want it.
My kitchen tap is just one nozzle with a bar at the top which you twist clockwise or anti-clockwise (left and right from a front view) to change the temperature of the water.
You only find the two separate nozzle taps in really old houses where they haven't decided to update the plumbing.
The teeth thing is really stupid because we have universal single-payer dental care.
I guess it's because we don't go in for bleaching? Teeth are naturally off-white and slightly crooked. Personally the filed-down, completely straight, dazzling white American style looks alien.
The Americans who can't afford dentists likely have worse teeth than our people on similar incomes.

I love watching American films from the wartime, because your accents were amazingly British until the second half of last century. It's only recently in history that even the elite of your society speak with "American" accents.

Yeah, like that! I realise it's only in old houses (like mine, unfortunately), but I haven't seen it elsewhere.
Perhaps it's because I've visited many shared flats (most of my friends in London live in sahred houses/flats) and these tend to be in worse conditions.
No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Anyway, according to Brendude 13 you live in an old house. :P

No, I feel offended by what you've said, you're saying you can't understand the British accent, which is dumb and you said we slur words together when we clearly don't, especially not those you see in the films, they're all southeners who have posh accents and use words properly unless they're using slang, which still isn't slurring words together, that's what the Americans do, not to mention the umm... you know, when you umm... do that thing when you umm... have to umm... pause before you can umm... think of what you're umm... going to umm... say, I've heard that so many times when there's interviews with Americans or whatever, it's so funny how you can comment on an accent, saying you don't understand it, and then not realise how dumb most American commoners sound... and I love how you assume "most" would probably have a difficult time understanding what was being said...
It really annoys me how people (The majority I know of seem to be Americans too... ) think of British people as if we're a whole different species or something, and even go as far as to insult us, based on popular American cartoons (Such as Nigel from Family Guy...), yet they've never even stepped foot in England, which is a good thing, because if they did their fat weight would probably tip us over... derp, stereotype, right? -.-" |
Take it easy man. If you start getting irked by stereo types you'll spend all of your time pissed. Just laugh it off. Britain is effing awesome and you know it so why let bad stereotypes get to you? Every country has their own idiots that stick out and that's what the rest of the world concentrates on when they want to belittle them out of jealousy. Either that or it really is good natured ribbing. That's why it's best to take it as a joke because it certainly isn't the truth. (Not the whole truth anyways.)
And by the way, most Americans see Britain and Canada as our closest friends. We get a large part of our culture from the UK in one way or another.

You can find faults in any country's dialect. Most people from England I can understand, however ones with very deep accent I tend to have a little trouble with. I seem to have the most problem with Guy Ritchie movies apparently. I can watch the entire RocknRolla movie without subtitles and understand almost everything. However, there are a few scenes that I can't understand every word. Anyways, a few months back I met some British that were staying at the same resort. Most of them I understood every word. However, I bumped into one while near the beach and we had a decent conversation about politics. I could understand him for the most part but there were times I'd just shake my head because I didn't understand fully. To put it simple I can understand most British people. It is just the other variations in British accent (perhaps the northern British accent) that trips me up sometimes.
Don't worry about stereotypes because American stereotypes are far worse than English stereotypes. Also, sorry for calling you a douche but I was a little offended from being called a retard (plus I had a couple beers in me).
