Well I enjoy trying even if I'm not brilliant. My mum is good at accents and sometimes we have fun talking in American accents - south, like on Forrest Gump - and I'm not bad at that. I'm awful at Scottish, ok at Irish, can do a good 'proper' English accent and several Welsh variations.
I find I can mimic accents better when I've just seen a film with a specific accent - like try Spanish/Mexican after watching The Mask of Zorro!!

I can mimic just about any american accent, English, Jamaican, Italian, French and.. (do not take this the wrong way) Jewish. I love my grandma to death, but she is soooo much fun to make fun of.

We are English, first of all, just to clarify. My mom speaks with a Black Country accent, which really, should be classed as an accent of its own and not English, cos it's that broad. Anyway, she can mimic the Irish and Yorkshire accents incredibly well. Sometimes, she does it without thinking.
My brother can do the Australian and American accents really well. Especially the southern drawl. When he was five, he decided to recite a poem for his school play in a Southern USA drawl! For some reason, my brother's favourite phrase to say in Australian is "There's a dingo out in the bush." Yeah.
As for my father and I, we can't really do accents. I sometimes like to talk in a posh accent like the Queen. Unfortunately, I can't pull it off very well. My dad CAN do Dr. Evil's evil laugh though. He's really good at doing that. I guess that compensates for his inability to do accents
