*takes a deep breath*
Do you sound like the people in the Narnia movies, or are there many very-different accents?
There's a huge variety of accents, the Pevensies (if that's who you're wondering about) have pretty posh accents, probably based on the accents of people in the better off part of London and the counties surrounding it. I've no idea if that's what Lewis had in mind though.
What is the RRP or whatever, the standard regional accent? (I can't remember what it's called, but they taught it to the non-brits for The Lord of the Rings.
I actually heard the accent they taught to the LOTR actors was a sort of 'stage' accent - neither American or British, but an in between of sorts so it wouldn't stand out. I could be wrong though
I'd be hard pressed to say what the RRP here is, people in southern England would probably say one thing and then those from the north another. And that's without Scotland and Wales, too.
How very much do you like your tea? Do you drink coffee, hot chocolate, etc.?
Coffee and hot chocolate's popular, it depends person to person. Personally, I do live off tea. We have a saying in my house that we can't start doing anything until we've had a cup of tea first. It's true
Okay, for something actually serious. How do most Brits view royalty, and I just mean royalty in general?
I'm hesitant to speak for all of Britain on this one, it changes place to place and person to person. I'd say people generally like the royalty, or more that they like the tradition surrounding them. I was saying to another mod recently that in my family we're not so hot on the Royals, which I suspect is because my family is from Southern Ireland so they take a dim view on most attempts by Britain to exert power. But I think most people are fairly fond of the monarchy.
I want to ask to any BBC Sherlock fan out there who lives in London or close if they've ever gone to Baker Street to look up the address 221B?
I've been to Baker Street a lot, but I'm afraid I've never tried to look up that address
So C.S. Lewis wrote of all these different food which were unfamiliar to me. Do y'all Brits still eat that way today?
Are there any in particular you were wondering about? (I have a terrible memory
). I remember being asked a lot around the release if we all get as excited as Lucy over sardines - no
Wartime and post-WW2 food was quite different from what we eat today which might be why some of the food in CoN seems strange.
What do British people think of American accents? do they sound whiny? or are they just as cool to Brits as British accents are to us?
I wouldn't say Brits dislike the American accent, but we don't get half as excited over it as you do over ours
I have one: My Dad says that in England, everyone has tea at a certain time, and they all stop what they're doing at that time just to have tea. Is that true or a myth?
Sort of. He was probably thinking of afternoon tea (around 4-ish), which is when people would sit down and have tea and food like tea cakes and scones. It could well still be popular with the upper classes as they're very fond of tradition, but regular people don't do it. Well, we sit down and have tea, but that's at any old time
Is the mighty boosh really popular there?
Pretty popular, a lot more so a few years ago. Noel Fielding is still doing a lot of other work though (I met him last year, I think the Boosh were doing a tour) and the show gets repeated a lot.
do yall make fun of American accents like we make fun of Brit accents?
You make fun of us?
Not on a regular basis, no. Sometimes you come across a barmy tourist and can't help but giggle, but that's about it.
Do you say pavement versus sidewalk?
Pavement.
Why do the British make the best comedies?
We're gloriously self-depreciating, which it turns out is hilarious.
