UK, I'm from London but people often assume me to come from a posher background than I do.

Part of the reason is that I loathed the school I went to which seemed to encapsulate the concept of 'chavviness' and people pointed out that I seemed posh and it was a way of distinguishing myself. I always grew to admire the more preppy side of life. Since going to university and seeing some of the ignorance and snobbiness of some of the people who have no clue what poor people live like I have moved my sympathies back towards the area I grew up in.

Anyway, I really like Northern Irish accents on women. After watching Fargo I really love North Dakotan accents too.

Actually that's a common misconception, Scotland sends all of it's tax revenue and such south to England and they send a certain amount of that back up for our budget.

If Scotland broke off we'd have a good 3-4 Billion more each year to work with from what the English wouldn't be taking.

Of course it wouldn't really matter in the short term since if we break off we'd need to take on a portion of the national debt and it would likely just go towards that.
