Yes I was mostly joking....except for the brief history review
As for accents, well even Americans prefer almost any British accent to an American regional accent (ie. Southern accents...:shudders:.).
Have you ever heard someone from the south over a loudspeaker system. It doesn't help a headache very much.
Yorkshire is my favourite british accent. They sound less than excited about the world but still manage to be funny in their dour tones. I like the Scottish accent too as hard as some regions are to understand.
I think New York is my favourite US accent. I know not eveyone will agree on that one. It's an accent made for comedy.

And what's wrong with Dame Edna?
Ach, I dinnae ken . . . tilt of her kilt? Dame's hilarious in interviews but performing at the Met?
For me probably, I'm from the south and I will likely never be able to be fully rid of all accent.
Nothing wrong with a southern accent per se. Virginians, No. Carolinians, just to name a few have what I'd call a distinct, "genteel" dialect. I especially like the classic Tennessean accent shared by whites and blacks there. Remember Elvis' accent? Who isn't a sucker for the accent of a cute southern belle? Ohhhhhhh mama.
I have noticed that "redneck" sounds the same, whether you're from Mississippi, Nebraska or California. Central Oregon has a definite redneck twang among the old-timers. How is that possible? When the Okies dispersed during the dust bowl era, they swarmed the fertile river bottoms and valleys in (mainly) the western states. I have lot's of relatives from Oklahoma, Missouri and Arkansas. Dang!

My fiance was born a town called Amory, MS near Tupelo. He lived there for 9 years then lived in Georgia, Kentucky and South Carolina for a while before moving to Scotland so his accent is southern but mixed. He doesn't sound like a redneck though lol.

I have to agree with that because "redneck" does sound similar regardless of what state you live in. I'm from Kentucky and still have my accent (not redneck ) after almost 7 years up north. I thought the concept and sound of a "redneck" was predominately southern until I moved to Alaska and lo and behold we have them up here too!
Blimey!! I thought this was a family show!! Don`t look Ethel!!
Wedgie Alert!!!

There's naught wrong with Dame Edna, officially.
