By the same token though, there are many varieties of "British" accents - Michelle's natural one is certainly nothing like the accent in the area where I live (my own accent isn't quite local - having spent my first 6 years near the Welsh border I have a slight Welsh inflection that occasionally strangers pick up on). So please don't take offence about a West Coast accent being lumped in with all "American" accents - over here, they all sound as similar to us as ours do to yours.
