Old_Joe Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 There was a TV special years ago called daylight robberies which depicted squirrels and even some birds who had learned steal food like this seagull. They showed a squirrel that had learned how steal from a vending machine. They even set up a couple of obstacle courses for the squirrels to beat which they eventually did.

There's no way a Welsh person speaks like and English person. Therefore, I'm not really sure what accent people are referring to when they talk about a 'British accent'. It could be anything. I have an idea people are generally referring to a Colin Firth/Hugh Grant type accent but I can't be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's really no specifically "American" accent, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use the term british and english interchangably, and refer to the other members of Britain sperately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
