Dear all,

I haven't been following this debate that closely, so
this may have been said already, but to my
Northumbrian and layman's ear, the insertion of the
'r' is primarily, although I guess, not exclusively an
RP/polite/educated speech affectation that has been
educated into people through the education system, the
media and it has to be said through class. I have even
seen this in Northumberland and up north. However, I
have mates all over England in all professions, and
they don't use this 'r'. It is confined mainly to
certain social stratas from my experience.

gan canny,

I am not skilled in phonetics, phonology, et al, but I do believe my
ears.  One late night I was aroused by the TV with a fellow speaking with
(I thought) a decided British accent.  As I awoke though, I realized that
he really was speaking in a U.S. southern drawl.   Sam
