Being British...

Kinda off topic, but related:

England has lost alot of its "foreignness" around here. I don't know if it's because of the wide availability of BBC America, the fact that we do so much business with Brits, or what. But a British accent doesn't seem any more surprising to hear than a southern one or a New Yorker one.

Didn't used to be that way -- when I was a kid, a British accent immediately conjured images of a guy in a bowler hat and monocle. Maybe there's just more of you in Colorado now.
