What do you think when you hear Philadelphia?

Brits, do you all think twice when you hear an American accent?

  • Considering Hollywood makes so many movies. If you were to hear it walking down the street would you think twice or is it just second nature to hear Americans. (I tend to hear the British on TV sometimes here in America, and I don't think much about it, but if I were to hear it spoken around me I would think twice about it)

  • Answer:

    No, I don't take any notice of an American accent. I have friends who are American and I used to live and work in central London where you hear American accents all over the place, plus as you say you get them on TV a lot of the time so it's not at all unusual.

In the street think twice. On T.V. films never think twice.

We don't generally get Americans round where I live, but oddly enough, an American man served me today, in the chemist's. He even called me "Ma'am" which seemed strange (nice though) and he was very polite.

I live in Barcelona and there are many American students and tourists here. When I hear them I usually just think shut the f*ck up. The majority of them have such loud voices, especially on public transport and are often talking shite.

Yes I do, I think its because Amercians have a cuter accent. Like when you say Ma'am, it's so polite. Also the way you guys have a different way of saying words to us. (alluminiun and sea-bouy for example) I watch a lot of Amercian T.V, but it's definatly better to hear it in real life!
