Don't you like these two accents, Scottish vs Irish:

Much better than flat RP, direct Cockney or boring Estuary.

British Tv is teeming with nonRP accents, so why bother with RP at all?
What do you prefer? Colorful vs flat/boring?

<In English is spelled COLOUR.>

And in English, we don't omit the pronoun in that sentence. If we're going to be spelling nazis (and COLOR is the correct American spelling), using bad grammar spoils the effect.
