Whether a British accent is elegant depends on WHICH British accent it
is. Cockney isn't SUPPOSED to sound elegant. I don't know the name of
the related accent spoken by Londoners who didn't leave school until
they were 18 or over, but to me it sounds adorable rather than
elegant. Geoff, what is its name? The accent that Americans often
mistake for Australian?
