Oh, thanks. I was in England in the 70's, too long ago to remember. I do remember my northern England friend, Kathy (from Harrogate). She insisted she was SCOTTISH. Well, she spoke very differently, and I used to like to tease her or imitate her but can't remember a specific example now, not at all like the royals or other British accents I've heard.

There must be an upper crust British accent thenj, as well as regional. I've not heard one for some time except on the telly I mean video or radio (don't watch tv any more).

The upper crust accent is called The Received Pronunciation or the “posh” accent as most average Brits call it. Most average Brits snicker at other average/non-nobility Brits who put on the “posh” accent.
