I think most of us in the US love the UK accent. And the sayings and expressions you guys come up with are great.

The nuances of language can catch you out.

There was a letter in the paper a few weeks back - a lady was in Australia and met the local rugby team just as they were leaving for a match - she said to them "well we're all rooting for you" (meaning, in a way "we're supporting you"). They replied "thanks but we can manage that ourselves!", leaving her wondering what "rooting" meant in Oz. I didn't know either until I looked it up
