I half remember hearing that the American accent today is a closer approximation to spoken 18th-century English than UK English is today. So it's the limeys who have drifted!
Pinch of salt to be taken, I'd rather think that the Irish perfected spoken and written English around 1940 and the Anglophone world has been coasting since.
