I think I'm gonna give it a go tomorrow, to mix things up a bit... Any situation I find myself in where I'm around strangers, I will speak only with a british accent. :lol:

No, but right after I moved from TN to Chicago and before I was in a relationship I used to turn up the southern accent and it worked *wonders* with the ladies.

Never underestimate the power of the southern accent, although I should probably mention that there are certain versions of the southern accent that you should avoid if you want to try this. The nasal mountain accent being one example.

This may be that young man's first Outhouse appearance....

I did, once, in high school, but it was for a drama type thing, so I don't think that counts...

Yes I have. Whenever I don't want to answer tourists asking for directions

Have you ever gone into a large area full of people and acted like an Asian tourist, complete with camera, mickey mouse hat, and asking for pictures of everything?

Awesome. East for me too, although not quite so far north.
