  1. RP - or very close to it. Certainly not estuary.

    Edit - I'm no linguist, but I'm willing to stick my neck out here- the best description I can come up with is a Southern 'Standard English'/ RP hybrid!!!

    Sounds frightfully posh though, nah wot I mean?


  2. That's miles away from estuary English, innit?

    She's not speaking an affected "upper class" RP,

    (the caricature of RP, or of British 1940's radio newsreaders)

    But it's too clear and evenly enunciated to be anything like estuary.
