The funny thing when Americans mention the English accent they are usually referring to a Southern English accent.
I live in the North,within 10 miles of my house there are 3 different dialects.Most Americans don’t think I am from England when I talk to them because I don’t have the media friendly type accent which is usually a London or Home Counties accent.
If I speak in a naturally broad Lancashire accent as I do with my friends,people in the south would struggle to understand it all,an American would think I am speaking a foreign language.
To get back to the OP I cannot stand James Corden,how he has got his own show over there is beyond me,I don’t like Piers Morgan much either.
I think it’s funny, all this whining about the cost of college. It’s the direct result of you © demanding the government take over the loans. A government created problem. And now you are demanding the government be the solution and you want it free.
Do you not see the common denominator in the drift to failure?
College wasn’t an option for me and my friends when we graduated high school and we knew it. To get a loan, we had to go sit across a desk with a banker, have collateral and co-signers. Parents willing to put up the house they worked their whole lives to get and just at the time they were getting their heads above water. We weren’t going to do that. We talked and dreamed about it, but we knew.
We couldn’t sit down at a computer and fill out an “e-form”.
So we went to work. Or joined the military. Earned it or didn’t go.
For years, I watched my old man work a day job, come home and eat, take a nap then go get on a tractor all night. My grandfather spent 14 or 15 hours a day running the same tractor and the cows. Everybody we knew did the same thing. All the kids worked. Six year olds knew how to handle a barbed-wire post gate.
Only to have the government ■■■■ it all up.
You blame us for the state of the union and you’re right. We raised you the way we did. And for that I apologize. We thought we could put you all in air conditioned cubicles from 9 to 5. We thought we could spare you. We were wrong.
We should have raised you to be men like our fathers raised us.
Again, my apologies.

For some reason I have my doubts you actually played much of a role in what you apologize for when raising your own progeny.
You are correct. It is a general apology on behalf of my cohort.

This is almost right.
You left out a couple things but almost nailed it.
What is it you feel I left out?
Why it actually all happened, and for whom.

The women?
That’s pretty funny, actually…
Wasn’t intended to be.
I know…that simply makes it even more funny.
Are you going to get to the point or flirt all day? I’m trying to be civil, but given your behavior recently, my patience has limits.
Our empire might be dead but culturally we still punch way above our weight.
I don’t think that will change for a good while yet, the attitudes in regards to our accent, (or rather specific English accents), our music and educational institutions are pretty well engrained globally and in the US especially.
Though that perception doesn’t necessarily reflect the reality.
As to why? We’re the parent, an authority figure of sorts. And all the old nobility ■■■■ seems to get certain types enamoured. Classy!
Yours, I presume?
