They do me!
Why say, "I weigh __ stone"? HUMANS ARE NOT MADE OF STONE!
Sod it!- What a sissy exclamation...

Did you say sissy??!! Bloody wimp of a word if there ever was one. Sissy?!
I agree, people who use the word sissy cannot be made of stone! Sod that!

Variety is the spice of life, my friend. If we all spoke the same dialect of the same language with the same accent and the same vocabulary we'd be BORING.
No, British accents and slang do not piss me off in the slightest.

Get over it. I like my accent and so does everyone I meet.
British colloquialisms are very colourful. Right, mate?
Do you want everyone to go around speaking American? Give me a break!
You must be ignorant, or just jealous.

I personally love the British accent. They can tell you off and sound polite about it the entire time!

Well, of course not. It's always interesting to hear different phrases and expressions. We can't go around expecting everybody to speak exactly as we do in our own backyards...and if they did, what a boring world it would be.
I've met plenty of English people, and like the way they speak.

Very well. So you're lacking a little in the grey matter. Don't expect other Yanks to go along with you. Bet you are a Bush supporter too, eh?

I actually like the British accent and their culture as well.

Why should they piss you off? We're not made of "pounds" either :)
Frankly, I kind of like them. Some are quite clever, and they're all just another part of the world's wonderful diversity.
And Bob's your uncle...:)

Doesn't annoy me as such, I just prefer other accents.
I'd take stone any day over fahrenheit, that's a weird measurement!
