Pierce Brosnan has what I'd call the "usual" British accent. If that makes sense.

Pierce Brosnan is Southern Irish.

British accent? There isn't one really.
English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish are all completely different and the regions within don't often sound the same either. I speak with a very broad Belfast accent e.g. You would have a lot of difficulty understanding me. We tend to use an awful lot of slang. There are some similarities between Northern Irish accents and Scottish ones.
I suppose it's a bit like saying an 'American' accent. I would imagine that someone from Kentucky speaks differntly from someone from California.
Most i know assume that a British accent sounds something like Hugh Grant when his is in fact more Upper Class 'Posh' English.

Well there is a generic American accent, but then there are the southern and east coast "dialects" I guess.

Ide love to have a girl with a British accent. And then if we ever have kids I can have someone looking up at me while talking down to me *some of you will know where that's from*

I don't really like listening to french girls speaking english , since I really improved my accent during my six months long stay in Bristol, it almost irritates me to hear my fellow countrymen not putting any effort in the way they sound... I'd definitely go with the british accent especially when english girls speak french, they sound very cute !

this is a tough one - its like comparing Alizee to Charlotte Church - both accents are great. other than the language, I cant really tell them apart if you know what I mean.

My top three favorite foriegn singers are Alizee, Priscilla, Charlotte, and Connie (Talbot). mainly because of their voice.
