UK accents that are as different from each other as they are the generic American accent.

So yeah, when you say 'British accent' that means basically nothing to anyone in the UK.

It's akin to saying "the generic American accent," Which means absolutely nothing to anyone in the US.

There are more varieties of accents inside London than across the entire US. You understood their point, no need to be pedantic.
