In 1992, my wife and I were viewing and commenting upon a painting in Sudely Castle when we were accosted by a 'posh' speaking woman who excused herself then asked my wife where she came from. When informed that we were from Lancashire, Accrington in particular, the lady said, whatever you do - be proud of and never lose your wonderful regional accent. I didn't know where to feel pleased or insulted, but the lady assured us that she was sincere in her appraisal of what she had heard.
