Ripley was also a character in 'Alien' who was American. As for Elliot being pale it's because the little berk is always playing with computers and not going out for fresh air. It's not proof enough that he's from the UK..

NB, you do all realise that 'British' and "English' are not the same thing, right?  Scottish is also British, as is Welsh and Northern Irish.  The regional accents change dramatically across the country.  This is why no one could understand Cheryl on the US X Factor, because she's from South Shields.  Most Americans when they hear 'British' think it refers to Londoners (Upper and Working Class) when it could be anywhere in the UK.  Thought I'd mention it as I'm a Londener and the rest of the country find this a bit annoying.
