German efficency and towels on sunbeds are some of the biggest stereotypes going, along with English drinking tea and liking to que, and American's liking big guns and all you can eat buffets

Vik, HHGTTG is PURE english, not just in language, but in humor as well. It was just meant to be in English, and read with an English accent. I would highly recommend the audiobook version of the books (one might be able to find a torrent) , read by Douglas Adams himself. Stephen Fry reads the 1st HHGTTG book to the audiobook series, and it is most Excellent! Seriously, I did not "get it" when I read it as much as I "got it" when I first heard it read with all the British accents and spech nuances.

Yeah, that's pretty bad. You seem to be doing lower class, Essex-esque, living-on-benefits speak that proper english, old chap.
A proper written english accent would be "One feels that a jolly good job was done by all of those who participated in the making of this film adaptation of this fine work of literature."
