Everything is understated, dressing flashy or bragging is vulgar.
- walthamstow 3y agoAgree on everything except accents. If a person is from anywhere in the south of England, I find it really easy to read all kinds of details from their accent. I can hear what kind of area they grew up in, what kind of school they went to, the education level or profession of their father/parents, basically their entire social class. I find it a lot harder with northern accents, though, due to lack of data.
