See? Sometimes it just means you get extra TV! ;-)

And I can understand that RP was nicer overseas, but it's just... most people never spoke like that outside of the BBC, and it was rather a classist and geographical prejudice thing in many ways, so I'm glad it's mostly gone. Although many people do have an amusing tendency to replace it with a sort of generic North London accent, heh. (Sort of 'let's not sound posh, but we can't attempt a comedy regional accent' thing, I suppose!)
