    Grace: What do you think about the accent of the man on the right?

    Do you think he speaks/tries to speak a bit ''higher class English''? At least I have read somewhere that he (as a native British) changed his accent a bit at some point.

    Well he's originally from Yorkshire and that's not any Yorkshire accent. He obviously has changed to an RP accent.

    There's no single accent for Scotland/Ireland/Wales.. all three have variations and different varieties of regional accents within each country.

    Yes I know that. But most of the time one can still broadly identify which country someone comes from by listening to them.
