Hey hey genralisation, I'll have you know that people from Inverness have been shown to have the clearest accents in Britain.
Also as someone kinda said before England (Scotland is in no way part of England!!!, Tho Wales got annexed by them so they have less of a claim. hehe) is not the same as Britain. Just as Holland is not the same as the Netherlands. |

as for the British accent, i never really cared for it... i find myself more attracted to Armenian/Iranian/Turkish/middle eastern accents for some reason. |
There is no such thing as a 'British accent'. |

Na, Holland is a region of the Netherlands just as England is a region of Britain.
