This is a question Prejudice

"Are you prejudiced?" asks StapMyVitals. Have you been a victim of prejudice? Are you a columnist for a popular daily newspaper? Don't bang on about how you never judge people on first impressions - no-one will believe you.

I'm Somerset born and bred, yet i'm well spoken and don't sound like Justin Lee Collins.
People think i'm posh, I'm not. Just because I went to a shitty comp doesn't mean I can't be well mannered.

Ah but do remember dear chap
That being well spoken and well mannered are completely different things and don't always go hand in hand.......

Good point
I would say that I am well spoken and polite.

There is also a difference between...
...being well spoken, and speaking English with a Received Pronounciation accent.

Most continuity announcers on Radio 4 are "well-spoken" yet have a variety of accents including Scottish and West Indian (and RP).

Melinda Messenger has a mostly RP accent (with a tinge of Swindoo) yet can barely string a sentence together. Jimmy Carr speaks textbook RP yet you wouldn't want him effing and blinding and making cock jokes at your nan's funeral, would you? (Ok, maybe you would. Weirdo.)

QED. What do I win?
