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!?
