    I went to a private school in Bristol and received elocution lessons there. Moved around a bit, attended a couple of Universities, so I'm not sure how I sound to others - probably well spoken but not posh.

    My dad was very fussy about English being spoken properly. He disliked affected 'hooray Henry posh' speech and tried to be accent free with precise diction. It rubbed off on me when young, fortunately, I managed to shake that off and develop a touch of yob .
