The accent, of course, like "hour" being pronounced as "Ahhh" -
"This is Owen Bennett-Jones of News ahhh" on the BBC.

Which remind me - double last names - Owen Bennett-Jones,
Jonathan Rhys-Davies (I know, he's technically Welsh) and the like, often seem very English.

Karen, you don't have to be English to be British
Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish are just as British as English

Folks, don't forget she needs the "why" part - why you associate such things with being English!

Muddy4Paws, the funny thing is is that people sometimes guess Paul as having an English accent, which he does not at ALL - but he did watch a lot of Dr. Who when he was a kid!

And there was a receptionist where Paul used to work who thought I was two people - "that British lady who calls" and Paul's wife. I don't know why she thought I sounded British on the phone, I mean, how much of an accent can one convey in 7 syllables "May I speak to Paul Watts, please?" is just about all she ever heard me say before she transferred the call!
