Your voice changes on who you are with. Ordinarily there is just a hint of Geordie, but put you with someone with a broad accent and you get broader and broader! And you have a posher radio voice too! :D

Re: Jack Whitehall
Nobody has answered my question, where do posh people get their accents from, where did it originate? is it because people aspire to talk like the queen, sorry, i am really interested, having just watched 36 episodes of made in Chelsea

Re: Jack Whitehall
IMHO I think the "posh" accent is a hybrid from the the Clipped english of the early 20th Century upper classes and the passing down from the aristocracy of feudal britain during the industrial revolution to the new middle class as they started to become upwardly mobile. Now it gets passed on in school, usually public school.
So if you send your kids to a school like eton or marlborough etc they will probably end up talking like they just stepped out of Made in Chelsea. Even if you talk speak like an east end barrow boy. |

:D Perhaps you'd like to tell us where common accents 'come from'? :rolleyes: They all evolve... It's not about 'aspiring to sound like the Queen' it's just the way people speak as that's the accent they have grown up with. Same as any accent. |
