The real-life dulcet tones of Lyndsay John from the London Evening
Standard (of 'Ghetto Grammar' fame) can be heard in this audio
interview with the BBC, along with one of his mentees (I won't get
into his use of that word here).

Favourite Freudian slip (3:40): 'I always  try and teach the young
people I work with: Weapons! ... er ... words are the best weapons in
the arsenal of life"
