Entwisi, I work with a lady who is very much a "Knutsford Set" type (though I know Knutsford well, living very close to it, and it's not all that sophisticated). This lady speaks very, very precisely with a drawling accent that's more Westminster than Warrington (my office is in Warrington), is lady captain of her golf club and has a lifestyle like something out of "The Lady".
One day I was chatting to one of our typists, a nice woman who originates from one of the former large Council estates and has a broad Warrington accent. She was talking about her primary school, on the estate, and just happened to mention that the other lady was in the same class as her at school. "Oh yeah," she said, "She lived just round t'corner from me. Her dad worked on t'railway".
One never knows, does one?
