You do realize that the "southern accent" by that woman in the green shirt is absolutely horrible.  It is so fake, its laughable.

I mean shes got some of the infection down, but shes not flowing well enough with it.  Needs more emphasis on the final syllables.

It is pretty embarrassing, it's like she watched Gone With the Wind once and decided she was an expert.

My answering machine stands as a testament to the diversity of southern accents.

propper geordie, scouse and glasweigen would be hard for the average american to comprehend

I'm originally from Glasgow and although I left when I was 15 to live in England, I've still got my accent although it has been diluted considerably. However, whenever I've been in the US (New York and Vegas) a lot of the people there can't understand a damn thing I said to them. At first I thought it was funny then it just began to get frustrating as hell because beforehand I thought they would have loved it.
