Compared to SMG's attempt at a British accent, he's Meryl Streep
That was supposed to be British? How funny. I thought (seriously) she was going for an American southern accent.

Huh. I was under the impression she was supposed to be going for a southern belle accent, too.
Which would explain why it sounded like the World's Crappiest British Accent.
Actually, the two accents are very close. It only takes the tiniest shift in how you sound the words to switch between the two, so if her southern belle accent (and I'm certain it was supposed to be southern) was just a little off, then it could have been very easy to confuse with a crap Brit sound.

I think she was going for Southern Belle as well, but it was still horrible.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
She was looking at pictures of 18th century U.K. ballgowns from a Watcher's diary that concerned Angel's early years as a vampire, and referred to herself as a noblewoman once transformed. Somehow I doubt they were going for a Scarlett O'Hara effect, though they may have unintentionally ended up with one.

Wasn't she looking at Darla? So really she was a prostitute in the "New World"?

I don't think they specified that the gown drawing was of Darla. But my, wouldn't that have made for a fun episode if they'd had SMG turn into Julie Benz as the 18th century version of her character?

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
She was definitely going for British, as per Matt's reasoning, and failing. The girl she's looking at is of Angel's time-period, but not Darla.

Nobody
I never thought she was going for British. I thought she was just going for generic old fashioned. Buffy didn't care that the girl in the sketch was British, or whatever, she cared about the frou-frou.

I'm not sure what nationality Halloween!Buffy was supposed to be, but I do know that SMG can't do a British accent to save her life. See Gone (that's the blinvisible ep right?) wherein she tries to mock/imitate Spike with the "bloody birds of a feather" line. They should have just cut it - it's embarassing.
