I am quite well spoken, and living in an area which sounds quite common (Essex).

I have known Americans who LOVE my accent, which is kind of fun for me. I was once at a concert in Buffalo, and I was in a queue for a t-shirt, I don't wish to insult Americans, but they don't actually say thank you very often, if something is done for them they say thank you, but if you hand them something they just take it, so this bloke was selling the t-shirts to all the American women, and then I stepped forward, and pointed across and told which which T-shirts I wanted to buy, and the bloke visibly melted when he heard my accent, lol, his voice became much more quiet and gentle when talking to me, and I smiled and thanked him, and left him kinda gobsmacked, lol... much fun
