I've never been to The UK, or Europe. But England has called to me since I was a child. Everything I know in my soul calls England home. The language/multiple accents. The quirkiness. The weather. My soul says: throughout your multiple journeys of birth/rebirths... England has been home more than anywhere else. Through most of them I was a sailor. Serving The Crown in the merchant and military. I don't think I'd ever been to America except into north east coast ports. I hope to see it someday.
If it's trying to be anti-York, it's not doing it very well. Yorkshire folk tend to embrace the 'tight-fisted, penny-pincher miserable git' stereotype.
The first time I went to York I was stopped and searched instantly by the police, literally as I stepped off the train onto the platform. I'm convinced it was because of my overly bright yellow T-shirt. Everyone else in the city was dressed in greys, khakis and navy. On the plus side, the officers were super friendly and one of them used to work for the same charity I went there to help.
Yebbut, speaking as a Bri*ish, and one with the requisite 'Estuary Accent' to boot, the title implies it's the 'i' sounds which are missing, when it's actually the 't' sounds. For example, the well-known 'bo'oh'o'wa'er'.
You’re a know-nothing. The UK monarchy are a long way from being billionaires and neither does the UK support oligarchies or tax avoiders. Most of us proud liberal social democrats and proud of our constitutional monarchy which provided the checks and balances needed to protect us from sudden lurches into authoritarianism and fascism, which clearly is more than possible in the US. Anyone who thinks supporting King Charles = supports billionaires doesn’t know his arse from his elbow.

When aiming for accents, apostrophes are the preferred punctuation (or phonetics) ex. Br't'sh or Brih-esh

Because if you call someone from Wales or Scotland "English" they'll get nasty at you, so you say "British" to be safe.
