All people have accents, even those at the centre of the anglosphere.
It's part of their charm.
Ever watched "Slingblade"?
Here's a description of mine from something I read...
>It baffled Rosie how her mother could have lived her life in the backblocks of Perth, and still manage to sound so English, so proper. Though it was an accent that Rosie had come to understand while living in London, it would be unrecognisable to anyone living in the British Isles. It was an accent learned from the ABC and the BBC World Service generations ago.
