Posh northerners / scottish / irish

I made an observation, not an assumption.

If I were to apply the assumption that is being made about me, then I would be assuming that the person speaking badly is from an uneducated background. I have observed that not to be the case, so I did not assume it.

Really? You made the assumption that speaking with a broad lancashire accent is working class. It's not. It's how people up north speak, public school educated included.

Some people change their accents (sub-consciously or otherwise), so they can be understood or maybe to fit in (as they get bored of people making assumptions/judgements of their accents and where they could be from).

No I didn't. Thats exactly my point. That logic is being applied in reverse to me, and I find it annoying. I intended to point out exactly what you have stated.

I'm killing this thread here. It's not worth going on with it.
