Subject: RE: Adewwww (Adele) superb at Grammy Awards
As a boy I had a strong working class west country accent & vocabulary,
but my mum drudged in a kitchen/bar job at a golf club
and had aspirations for me, so kept correcting my pronunciation...

Grammar school, degree education, and socialising with the urban middle classes reduced me to a bland nondescript 'educated' accent...
.. then 15 years living in East London finished me off...

I don't like the sound of my voice when I hear recordings.
