Interesting about Cherie Blair. Someone did some work on accents and who loses them and who doesn't. Dominant characters don't. Subordinate personalities do the fitting in thing unconsciously. As I do. And I reely reely need to get rid of that estury rubbish. Though I'm not sure what I would like to get instead. I can't find a voice model for Sussex anywhere. Including Sussex.

Back to Blair - I suppose she may have thought she did need to have a court accent, but if she acquired it without intending to, that speaks of lack of self esteem. As does the use of woo advisers, crystals etc. Wonder what it says about the blessed Tony.
