You do realize that there is a very fine line between British and gay?
And many of them have erased that line.
(with apologies to Oscar Levant)
If you think UK accents are gay mate you've been watching too many dodgy American action movies! ;-) Firstly, we're not all master villains. With regards to horrendous ROMCOM films, not all Brits speak like hugh grant. Only hugh grant speaks like hugh grant. Secondly, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy has been aired on UK TV. Perhaps I should judge the American accent as used by Carson Cresley or whatever that bloke's name is? I think lots of American tourists come to the UK expecting to find a scene from the film Nottinghill. Unfortunately, they're more likely to find drunken football supporters fighting!:-)
