That works in the US
Although a UK accent opens doors in the US in most bars, especially out of the touristy bits.

Doesn't always work here though.

I clearly replied to the wrong post here
yikes

but yes, having an accent would most likely open loads of doors here, a girl I knew in highschool went to france after graduation and people made fun of her accent

Back in the States, they just luvv'd my accent - especially in the Deep South.

In certain places
But most spectacularly Colorado Springs, CO., my accent opened rather more than just doors.

loads of trousers?

And then the Americans refer to them as pants
and the British say I can open the pants as well.

Ah well, at least if us Brits do flash ourselves, we can blame it on a transatlantic misunderstanding.

pffffffft
I've never heard such a ridiculous argument as "Pants v Trousers" or "Pants v Underwear"

It's all a load of pants anyway
But I like the "name the next stage of clothing after the previous" technique as an excuse to all get naked.

Frankly
Upon getting to that point semantics tend to be the last thing on my mind.

No thank you.
I have plenty of trousers.
