I hadn't realized it was supposed to be Britspeak either, as I've 
been using it since early adolescence and I was raised in the Deep 
South.  (On the other hand, ours was a BBC-heavy household, so I 
suppose I might have picked it up there - but no one I knew seemed to 
have any trouble understanding it, and I seem to recall at least a 
few others using it themselves.)
