I drive on the correct side of the road, depending on the country I'm in at the time.
I have trained my accent away from the most part, until I get on the phone with a countryman and then I kick back into it without thinking. I've had to do that, because I work on the phone, have for 6 years, and you'd be surprised at how many people don't understand a British accent. Especially people from the south. Even when I'm speaking slowly.
Most of the time I use American words (sked yoo al and vy ta min), even when using my accent. I've spent more time in America than in England, and I hold citizenships in both countries.
