"Diddly doo, Potato"? - No that's Irish
"Och, aye"? - No, Scottish
"Ooo-arrr"? - Sounds right.

Any accent spoken by a person born or raised in some part of England---see simple.

Just like American accents, there are a bunch of British ones.

I can remember being amused by a Brit in Yorkshire who didn't think I had an American accent. What he meant was it wasn't Southern, Texan, New Jersey, Valley Girl, or Boston and yet I was still white. For him, everything else was Canadian, Australian, or New Zealander. Where Canadians are more popular than U.S. citizens, this is a great advantage to those of us traveling from the Midwest, Southwest, Northwest, Mountain West, or Great Lakes United States.

Ah, the 'benefit' of having grown up on the internet in the 90s. I don't think I have any room left for additional mental scarring.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

That's what I mean, there's no such thing as 'a' British accent. The traditionally-accepted stereotypes are either Received Pronunciation, BBC English and Cockney. And whatever Dick Van Dyke was doing in Mary Poppins (giggety).
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
