We dont all talk like they do in Bridget Jones..

There isn't a "British accent" rlly. Britain = England, Wales, Scotland and they have v different accents. Though I'm guessing you mean the stereotypical English accent that you almost never hear in England mmmthis mmm
Conversations had with Imp. in other threads indicate, directly, that he was already aware of that.
It is possible that he was referring to the 20+ accents, excluding Irish and Scottish accents, that can be heard in the UK.
When someone says that they speak with an American accent, I don't automatically assume that they are not aware of the dozens (or even well over 100) of accents present in America. Seen here:

Why is that? Because I know what they mean. When someone says they like British accents, I know exactly what they mean while at the same time reconciling the problem of there actually being many "British" accents. How is it possible that I can do this? 😐

It would still be interesting to know which British accent is the one he thinks is particularly sexy, or if he thinks they all are, which would be weird seeing how completely different and varied they are so they would have to be liked for different reasons
The varience is quite large...even more so than the "accents" in the US.
He probably just likes the smell of fish and chips mixed with a nice ale. 🙂

Well, I see many people online who think "Britain" just means England ja. It would be kinda strange if he was referring to all the accents of Britain, though I did think that could be teh case slide
Great Britain, right? Yeah, he very well could have meant all of the accents from there...but most people mean the various accents from all over the isles and even South Africa.
When someone says, "I like a Southern Accent" from the US South, that's literally 30+ accents. Yet, we still know what they mean.
