I know that you joke here, but I had an interesting dinner conversation in London last year with erudite, scholarly friends who shared with me that recent research supports a different view of the "barbaric Americanised false English" that is the prevailing sentiment you share.
According to the scholars they mentioned, "American English" is indeed a true, pure, "real" English; just one from a time-capsule, an English from 1776 that did not advance significantly since American independence. This view suggests that were a BBC presenter and an American to travel back to meet with King George, it would be the American who sounded "right" and not the other way around. This time-capsule argument is not an argument against modern evolved English, but it is an interesting notion of a living language in the homeland might become a historical artifact through cargo culting in the breakaway colony. Insightful as to human psychology and something to remember amongst the lessons of wisdom.
