Well, as someone American who is absolutely in love with the British (and Welsh) accent, here’s my two cents. I love talking to Brits, male or female. I love the Australian accent as well, but it does have its differences. And Canadians, well I like speaking to Candians because (for the most part) they are incredibly good hearted and have a fine sense of humor. And as for the people from Quebec, the French Canadians, they seem to live in a world of their own, and the majority of western Canadians find them obnoxious and rude. I know plenty of Canadians from Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Alberta that think those from Quebec are arrogant and undesirable. I believe this dislike stems mostly from the people of Quebec that expect everyone that lives there to actually speak their bastardized version of French. =)
Back in June, I did meet a Canadian with a Scottish accent that used to drive a truck in Europe. His knowledge of languages and cultures was incredible, and he had the best sense of humor of anyone I’ve met in a long time.
Those with the other English accent are the same as everybody else, including us ignorant and ethnocentric Americans, it just varies from person to person.
