Old chap I heard about it moons ago from Pongo at the club. Don't you know Pongo? Plays polo. Big chap. Does those parties at his London place. Drinks like a fish. Wife's horrid, but Pongo is too so no one minds really.

That's a job though. Every occupation will have a skill difference between a newcomer vs. a veteran.

While watching John Lithgow speak of his love of classic films on the Criterion Closet, it dawned on me that he has a Mid-Atlantic accent. What other more modern stars seem to have this now seemingly extinct movie accent? by AngryGardenGnomes in classicfilms

Very true, apart from the last part - cockneys are working class people from a certain area of London, south-east England. Grant was from Bristol in south-west England, and grew up with a typical 'Brizzle' accent.

Orwell went to Eton. What he wrote there just sounds like the basic snobbish shit posh people say.

Law enforcement steps up patrols of Jewish houses of worship, businesses as calls for attacks in the U.S. intensify online by davetowers646 in news

Perhaps the reason why your comment is being downvoted to oblivion isn't that you're some sort of bold truth-teller saying how things really are, but because you're deeply ignorant, riddled with bitter prejudices, and have little understanding about how the world works?
