i wa watching a documentary on anna kournikova (sp?) and when she was younger, maybe 13-16 yrs old, she had a thick accent. Nowadays, she sounds like an american. weird. her accent is almost gone.
Though i wish i had a British Accent. Women go APESHIT over any guy with a british accent. It sound so damn sexy .. and automatically people think you're classy. Works wonders in the business world too.
I'm afraid if i tried to replicate it - i'd come off sounding like Austin Powers or something.
