British English comes across to me as polished, fluid and calming. I also feel there is something "upper crust" and refined about the sound of an English accent.
Personally, I think that American English is easier to understand (of course, I'm biased) but lacks the aesthetic, phonetic appeal of the English accent.
In the United States, I also prefer a Southern American accent (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc.) to accents used in other parts of the country as well as accents primarily used on television and in movies.

They may be polished outwardly but they cant be trusted and are big hippocrites particularly their present generation. I am not referring to those who contributed to India before Independance.
I fear that this commonwealth is going to bring a very bad name to India, If there is noterror attack but the inexperience and complacent nature of delhi authorities can make us to hide ours heads in shame if some untowards incident happens like one in kotla pitch.
Just because the preparations are woefully short of than what is international standards, the delhi and central governments have requested key nations to back off so that officials steeped in corruption can save face.This is the true face of congiiii rule.
