Do British people love American accents as much as Americans love British accents?

Haha just a random curiosity that struck me today. =)

    Hmmmm... difficult question.

    I think for me it depends on the accent. I may be more surrounded by Americans than the average Briton so I think a lot of the novelty has worn away. Some US girls have seriously sexy accents, but there are some that make you want to wince. The compulsion of some of my US friends to overshare and talk loudly in public places makes me feel somewhat embarressed sometimes!

    Southern states accents do nothing for me, but then I do have a friend from Florida and her accent is awesome.

    But to be fair, there's plenty of accents here in the UK you never hear on films and tv that are so annoying they would make you feel like your ears were falling out so it's swings and roundabouts.

    i seriously just heard on tv today some british person saying."We british are attracted to the american accent as much as americans are attracted to the british accent"

    I'm American, but having traveled to the UK, I'd have to say no. Britons tend to think Americans are very loud and crass.

    Source(s): Britons telling me we sound loud and crass.
