I fly frequently from Jamaica to UK. I am Jamaican myself, I just dont get why most Jamaicans try to speak in British accent on board flight and when they arrive in the UK. To be honest, it sounds weird...But when they reach jamaica, from flights from UK to jamaica, is like the have a trigger, and that trigger automatically switches back to jamaican accent. for example, a woman and her family spoke in british accent during the flight from UK to jamaica but whey they landed, and went to collect their baggage, i saw them speaking in jamaican accent. I don't get why they do that? whats wrong with their home accent? Their continuous trying to have a british accent is too obvious.
So, any answers?
I am not criticising or anything, I am Jamaican myself, and i like the Jamaican accent, I use it.
