But I was still told I was a foreigner and that my views didn't count for  
nothing.

But Daniel, you live in Great  Britain where to hear a different accent, 
all 
you need do is walk to the  next village!  Why, even London has been a city 
with a multitude of  accents.  I have always been amazed at the vast array 
of 
accents and  unique phrases to be found in such a small island.  From 
Geordie 
to  Yorkshire, there are a multitude of accents, many of which will  
automatically assign popular characteristics to those with certain  
dialects. 
I have always put it down to Americans having a far greater  spatial 
mobility.  In America, with so much land, there was a far  greater ability 
for people to move about, seeking new land and new  opportunities, thereby 
integrating the spoken word on a more sectional  basis.
