> what people call the 'royal posh talk'
That's not RP. RP is the accent of the older BBC news anchors. The aristocracy speak (or spoke) a horribly strangled accent:
"Ee-aw, heelyaw, Meekyeh!" -> "Oh, hello, Mickey".
- jjgreen 3y agoThe common aristocratic phrase "There's a trite in my trizers" translates to "there's a trout in my trousers" (apologies to Steve Bell).
