Agree with you there - drive an hour in the UK and the accent and slang could be completely different (e.g. Manchester to Liverpool), whereas in the US you could easily still be in the same state.

Jeez, Liverpool itself has several distinct accents, so does Manchester or at least Greater Manchester.

You can't drive 10 miles without new accents in populated areas more like!
