Not to disagree, there's interesting stuff in the nature of "posh" english and how it has shifted over time. I am told a lot of racing slang wound up being used by upper class twits, Polari was picked up by art college students. Everyone speaks a bit Essex now.

Scots has it's own posh and working class, as does Liverpool and Newcastle. Even in regions, you can tell. "sex is what morningside ladies get their coal in" and all.
