My boyfriend from the UK is actually staying with us right now and damn, the accent is powerful. Free food at restaurants, free drinks at bars. People just jumping into our conversations because they want to talk to him. Earlier this week we were taking the train to do some shopping, and when the ticket taker came around to get our tickets, he just said 'Oh, I'm from leeds, I didn't know I needed a ticket' (Even though I bought one for each of us already) and it was fine. Ticket taker just said 'Oh its all good, welcome to america' and just.... moved on.
