    Just so you know , there’s no such thing as a “ British accent “ , in reality . The people in the North have a different accent to those in the South and within that each major town/ county has its own accents . I’m originally from Liverpool and speak with a “ Scouse “ accent . I’m also known as a “ Scouser “ . Manchester is only 50 miles away and they speak with a “ Manc “ accent. Londoners are known as “ cockneys “ and speak with a cockney accent . Guy Ritchie movies often show a variety of British accents in them .
