If I moved to England..?

I'm 15 now, but I was just wondering.. If I moved to England right now and stayed there until I died, would it be more than likely that I would develop an English accent? Or, is it too late?

Random question. :)

    The younger you are, the more likely it will happen. At 15, there is a chance. However, I know someone who moved here from Canada when he was 22 and still has Canadian accent in his 80's.

    It depends on how much you use and hear to comprehend. You wouldn't be able to use British accent for rest of your life because you listen to it from TV or music. You have to hear, comprehend and practice saying it by its accent. And most of all, it's never too late!

    LOL. English accents are hard to understand. I don't understand what's so special about our accents. This appeal is odd.
