Contrary to a report in the Guardian, which featured in my post earlier called "Jade to Shetty: 'You need elocution lessons'", I have watched the "CBB catch-up" programme and it is clear that it was the other way round, according to Jade. This is confirmed by the Manchester Evening News.
I have left the comments from the earlier posting below.

The Jade/Shetty thing is a class clash.
ReplyDeleteShetty won't recognise it because she lives a sheltered, privileged life.
Jade has picked up on Shetty's life-style, doesn't like Shetty's attitude and wants to bring her "back to earth".
It's a classic "Class Clash" being manipulated by the PC brigade.
And Paul, your comment shows a little about you, your class discrimination just popped out for a moment.
Still facy a pint?
So, you can imagine Jade saying "How now brown cow" in the regulation way, can you?

What exactly are elocution lessons? Is that a UK thing?
ReplyDeleteNice to hear from you Ed. They are lessons in correct pronunciation.

The film "My Fair Lady" based on George Bernard-Shaw's "Pygmalion" was based on elocution lessons.
