We all know that there are many different accents in the UK. I can recognise some local accents, such as Liverpool and Yorkshire. I understand that accents vary from geographical areas to generations. People can tell that someone is well-educated by the way one speaks (terminology). Yet, much more than that, it seems to me that most British can instantly tell someone's social background when they hear s/he speaks. Why is that? One time I met two people who have different accents, but my friend said they both went to public schools (well I'm aware that going to public schools doesn't necessary mean one is from upper class...http://www.englishforums.com/English/TalentNotThatHardToSpot/2/kprqz/Post.htm#910248Tue, 21 Apr 2009 21:23:47 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:910248ronbI'm guessing everyone has seen Susan Boyle on "Britain's Got ... enjoy this: (Kind of melts away a little cynicism.) http://blogs.suntimes.com/scanners/2009/04/reality what a concept.html And the cynicism grows right back.
