Used to have a soft Dublin lilt - then - private/grammar school killed it.
Boringly anonymous ‘Queen’s English’ now - and she’s not even my Queen!!

Don’t think so. What I do notice is that if I’ve been talking to someone in a non-English language I slip into the grammar of that language. Same with reading.

TAT what non English language do you speak?
I speak Afrikaans but understand Finnish and Dutch. My first language is The Queen’s English

Posh is fine, Minx. I talks a bit of Middlesex, a bit of London & a bit Devonshire.
