.....but a groundbreaking study has revealed that your accent is no longer considered sexy: http://weeklyworldnews.com/headlines...y-study-finds/
Don't worry though as I'm sure some of us would beg to disagree

Agree. They've become a dime a dozen.
A British accent without humor and intelligence is like a pub without beer: no fun.

I am baffled by the rankings of the Strian accent.

Interesting to note that the top five accents for women are ones that I can't understand when they speak English......maybe what they say is just not that important 
Also, "low-lighting, soft music" etc isn't what we think of when we think of the Brits - I think of tea and Victorian furniture!

Oh and I don't care what any silly "ground breaking study" suggests, I find British accents very sexy.

I'm smitten with the British accent, it's so elegant and refined.
Ever notice how anglo-saxon gents fall over themselves upon hearing a pretty lady with a pleasant voice, speak with a French, Italian or German accent ?
