Did they complain you didn't speak with the correct English accent too?

I always find it hilarious when Americans talk about English accents and seem to think there are one - or maybe two if they've seen any period movies or Mary Poppins -, given there are several clearly distinct English accents in use in my London borough alone (ignoring accents with immigrant origin, which would add many more)

They wanted to find Leicester Square in London

- Hey can you tell me where "lie-sester" square is?

- Oh you mean "lester" square, yeah walk up that...

- No I'm pretty sure it's "lie-sester"

- Ok well I've never heard of that square, good luck!

I support them in their fight against how you guys pronounce certain things compared to how it is spelled. I'm not from the US though but Worcestershire sauce....come on.

That's fine, but that means I reserve the right to go to Detroit and insist it's pronounced "de-twa" and tell the locals they say it wrong because it has a french origin :)

it's either posh or cockney, right?
