Useful Notes/ pages are not tropes. If re-adding, use Accent Tropes to find correct trope.


* BritishAccents: "Mrs. Brown, You've Got A Lovely Daughter" and "I'm Henry VIII, I Am" were never released as singles in England, primarily because Noone sang them in an outrageously exaggerated Cockney accent.
