Believe it or not there is a wide variety of English accent, literally dozens of them. Not all of us speak the true Queen's English you know. Most areas of the country have there own regional accent. In fact there is probably a wider variety of English accents than there are American ones.
This is a video of the youngest PPC fan! Watch it if you haven't and if you have,WATCH IT AGAIN. :D

Aww. :3
Nice to see that the kid'll grow up to know that a Mary Sue is a very bad thing. :)
I think it was too long for a kid that age. But it was funny, and the baby was cute, especially at the very end! Everyone reading this: you have to download the PDF (linked in the video information). It's even funnier!
And I remember hS linked the book here on the Board, but alas, I seem to have deleted my bookmark; so if anyone still has the link, I guess it'd be nice to post it.
Little kids are almost always adorable.
That is absolutely adorable and huggable and amazing! Wish I had so awesome a parent!
I didn't know about the video or the children's book. Get 'em while they're young, eh?
Notice how the baby gets all upset when the Mary Sue is mentioned. Way to learn early! :D
THANK YOU RANDOM BRITISH DUDES FOR EDUCATING THE (really) YOUNG ON THE HORRORS OF MARY SUES!
And I must say the father is roguishly handsome.
But that's just my uninvolved opinion, obviously.
The British guys always win. xD
uninvolved? why? D:
(I'm not actually uninvolved, that's my husband and son. I'm just trying to be subtle about it. How'm I doing?)
I'll happily take up the cause for English men everywhere.
Good job no one disagreed about your comments regarding your husband before your reveal. ;-)
you have a husband and son? o_o really? and good. :)
so,uh,are you a regular here? I'm new!
Though some British accents are more charming than others, I have to admit.
Yes, I do, and I believe that makes me officially an Old Lady. Darn.
I'm not really a regular, I mostly make isolated hit-and-run posts these days. But welcome to the Board! The PPC is great fun.
wow,I didn't know that! o.o
soo... how old are you then (20's,30's,etc, just an estimation in place value,no need for exact)?
Oh yes,every one's pretty nice so far! ^_^ but I keep hearing about fights going on in the IRC or something. You guys don't gotta hate! :'(
So,what fandoms are you into? Everyone seems to be in love with Lord of the Rings here,and I know absolutely NOTHING about that.
I can't even understand some English accents, and I've been here for a few years now. Alas . . .
I'm in my very early twenties. ;)
I came into the PPC via LotR. Other than that, I've been active in Young Wizards, Twilight (but only in an ironic, hipster sort of way, let me assure you), Harry Potter, um, I've been dabbling in Dresden Files lately. Nothing terribly high-brow, I'm afraid.

Given that mention of adorable things seem to summon you quite effectively.
Or isolated for that matter. You've been quite active this week. :P
I guess it's not to difficult to summon me from the fiery pit.
