Dutch people sound like they're trying to speak German while chewing shit.

bez:
As Seer said its all regional.

The main accents are:

Brummy:  Birmingham
Manc:  Manchester
Scouse:  Liverpool
Cockney:  London
Wooly back:  Which is like peeps from the country and shit, farmers accents.

Then ya got Irish and Scottish which too have their regional accents but I dont know em.  I dont really try to talk in deep scouse cos its very hard to understand.  I try to speak in a tone which is understand to everyone, but I bet you could still guess where I was from in a second if you was speaking to me face to face.

another silly Q...  like i already said... SOME american accents are really easy to understand.. some arent. the same thing applies to british ones.

whats funny is foriegners (not just americans) always say they're donig a "british accent" when they're really doing a funny east london / cockney accent.. we find that shit funny too. to us americans sound dry/sarcastic all the time.

for example.. you speak to Me, Rud or Nino/Que on the phone we sound very different.

People say I dont have a strong accent.. but i'm from a rural ish place.. Bez would expect me to sound "wooly back" but i dont :P  you might get the odd slip from me.. but not often.

Rud has a strong-ish northern accent since he's from near bolton (not far from manchester)

Nino has a London ish sounding accent.. although he now lives even further west than I do..
