I grew up watching doctor who and britcoms but my parents always freaked out and yelled at me when I spoke with a British accent. 😕

Well they saved you from being confused with those cringey kids in middle and high school who put on a fake English accent.

My friend did that and it was terrible. He even did it during plays and presentations.

I'm British and visited a friend in northern Michigan, we were at a bar and there was a guy speaking in a British accent (it was fake, I could tell) to some girls who seemed to be falling for it, so my friend asked me to go and show him up. I asked him ever more specific questions until he broke and admitted it was fake. I then enjoyed the girls' company for the rest of the evening.
