oh yes even that late - he would have understood her but possibly not the other way round. My Gran was born in 1907, she was quite well spoken but my Grandfather came from a more lower middle class background and they were quite well off, her 2 sisters born a bit later were quite broad Scouse even in the 1980/90s, and they were brought up to speak well.

Even today there are class differences - have you watched Little Britain? I'm trying to find LDS suitable examples of scouse and cockney as spoken today to give you an idea lol but they are proving a little crude.

tell me more about this rp....sounds lovely indeed!

Its basically how the Queen speaks, but even this has changed and evolved during the Queen's lifetime, and is very different to when it was spoken by Shakespeare.

RP is what most people associate with English as spoken in the UK. Ironically place with the natural accent closest to it is Inverness (North Scotland)

I don't know the rules of grammar, nor do I care to learn them. I write well simply because I've read so many books that I can't write any other way.

So there....pppbbbbttttt

The variations in accents in the UK are quite remarkable at times. I only live a few miles from Pushka but here in Accrington we can spot a Burnley accent a mile away. We tend to sound more like Blackburn people but even then there's a little difference. Just up the road in the Rossendale Valley it's different again.

I'm quite pedantic about grammar and punctuation, especially if it can lead to misunderstandings when people get it wrong.
