Yes, The whole British accent thing reminds me of southern accents. You don't know how many times I get "are you from texas" from northerners just because I have a southern accent. where here in mississippi if you go to the capitol (Jackson) there is a different accent on every side of town, not to mention every part of the state. Im sure it is the same everywhere as I know people from ohio that have similar northern accents but they are not the same.
