Oh the choices.... Probably Irish or Russian...

Can't remember, do the Scots have their own accent?
The Scottish have several different kinds of accents, and I would kinda like it myself X) Have you seen Brave? How they talk is their generic accent.

If not then I'd like a more Southern Irish accent - I have a Northern one but the Southern one sounds better!

I totally miss my Aussie accent.
Losing it was one of the silliest moves I ahve made in life.

Quite the opposite, I'd like to have less of an accent. I'm Somerset raised, but from a fairly middle class family in a mostly middle class town, so my Westcountry-ness only comes through much when I get drunk. However, I've noticed since being at university that I actually have quite a posh accent (this is probably what most Americans mean when they say British accent), and it's a bit annoying really. Curse my English teacher mother!
I'm Wiltshire, and after joining the RAF I realised how posh my accent was too! Which gets more posh when I drink! Not too bad though as an officer, it is kind of expected... Also, after playing on sounding posh too much I did end up talking naturally posher as well. I like it though... there is nothing wrong with talking properly!

I never did pick up the west country accent though, which is odd as I grew up in a farmer town in west wilts and 90% of my family come from Watchet!

I would love to have an English/British accent. I know a good amount of people here where I live would find it attractive.
Where do you live? And how much are plane tickets!?

Eh, I find that most people in the Westcountry don't really have the accent if they're middle class. When I did A-Level English Language we did a whole bit about accents, class has just as much role in it as geography, it's pretty interesting. I actually think I got posher going to university because subconsciously, I didn't associate myself with the locals (I study in Liverpool).
