I like the one from Moby Dick I trot out occasionally.

Yeah, I sound Surrey. Not upper class.
Crow sounds upper class. I had my recorded voice played back to me once and I was shocked by how close to London I sounded.

Yes, but not common either.
also: upper class gay

Haha that's what common sounds like in Surrey.
At least for those of us that aren't afflicted with that fucking horrible estuary accent of the underclass.

I have no idea what I sound like naturally anymore.
I go into protective Sarf Lahndin when talking to anyone common and have a habit of dropping into northern or west country from time to time, no idea what I sound like the rest of the time.

"Upper Class"? I think you mean "pure fucking Radio 4," dear boy
I can't sound upper class because I don't suffer a ghastly speech impediment and I drink "red wine" instead of "red Wayne."
