Sounds exactly like the Carolinas and Virginia. So does Suffolk.

And Norfolk sounds like Maine.

Kent also sounds a bit Texan-like.

I think East Anglia accents sound a bit New England, and the southern coast of England more like US southerners.

None of the British accents really sound American to me. I think we've diverged. Did you see my thread about communicating with a female from England?
