I definitely think people are prejudged on their accents and I think it's completely
00:05
wrong. There's an old-fashioned British tradition that, you know, if you speak proper then you've
00:13
got a silver spoon in your mouth and you probably know the right people.
00:16
I can understand that prejudice, that's rubbish.
00:19
I certainly think so, yeah. Upper class, I would say. Do no wrong. Well, especially the
00:29
poor accent because it comes across as aggressive sometimes.
00:35
It's completely wrong. You're judging a book by its cover. You're not listening to what
00:39
they're saying. You're hearing a few words and then you're prejudging them just from
00:44
that and you're pigeonholing them. It's very stereotypical. I think to categorise people
00:51
just by how they sound.
00:53
The class system, people who sound more posh seem to be more respected and I don't think
00:58
that's right.

I don't think that's right.
