This, when you grow up accostumed to american english british english sounds like some faggy redneck accent.
Australian english sounds like british from the depths of the amazonic jungle, almost unrecognizable

That sweet 1% like RP and mid-Atlantic sound really good but very Sui generis though.

It sounds normal I guess. Most British accents are fucking annoying though.

In the Netherlands we have an accent (Leids) that reminds me of muricans a bit.
What the caller speaks. The radio hosts also imitate it a bit at times.

Here is a native English speaker from South Africa, who doesn't speak Afrikaans, but does a terrible imitation, and calls a Dutch person with a Leids accent.
