I still have my accent even though my sister considered it "posher" than hers 'cos I went to the Grammar school and she didn't.

My old boss at L'pool Uni. (Prof. Jennings) took me aside before i went down to Oxford telling me not to feel like I "stood out" and needed to change the way I spoke (like himself when he'd studied there many years earlier), he said I should be proud of it as it set me apart from most of the rest who would be there!
