The way the Queen speaks... I thought I'd read someplace that that's a descendant of the affectations of the 18th century Devonshire house set?
I just got _Pies and Prejudice_, though I haven't had a chance to read it. Thanks for the rec! :)
"in Frasier, when Daphne and her brother had accents from different ends of England, because some producer seemed to have the idea that all working-class English people are Cockneys."
Believe me, that drove a lot of Americans nuts, too. :)
