my week at the movies: nothingI’m in England. I’m too busy sitting in pubs and flirting with bartenders with cute accents to go to the movies. Although... I might try to see either Creation or Dorian Gray, which are new in theaters here. You’ll hear about that if I do. support

Please don't call our accent 'cute' - American's often say it and we tend to find it patronising. . .

She said the bartenders had cute accents. She didn't say Brit accents are wholesale adorable. We can't even 100% assume the bartenders were British. Maybe they had Scottish accents, or something else.
Anyway, better to have your accent thought of as "cute" than "stupid and uneducated" (like a lot of American accents)

And while you're at it, please stop talking about how smart and handsome English men are, MaryAnn. British modesty can only take so much...

I reckon I can mediate a little - there's a big difference in my experience between the English usage of 'cute' and the American usage. Americans seem to use it as 'sexy', y'know - cute boys, cute dress etc. English usage of cute is restricted to puppies and kittens and occasionally small children - we only really use it for small things that can't express themselves all that well.
The Scots and the Welsh have the same usage as us English people.
