Hugh Grant?

Well, I know Hugh Grant is from London, right? But I don't think his accent is cockney, or is it? What's his called? I really love it. It sounds so posh and elegant.

I can't be certain...but it's probably a posh accent.

Poshy cocky.

He sounds RP-ish to me.

Yes, He sounds RP to me as well.

Yes, posh. RP, Eton, etc.

If you want to sound like Hugh Grant, all you need to do is learn to use three words: "frightful", "dreadful", and "quite".

Well quite.

[Hugh Grant's] contrition was so winning that one cartoonist suggested he could make big money as a spokesman for governments accused of human rights abuses. (On Saddam Hussein's gassing of the Kurds: "Rather a bad move ... terribly sorry." On the Serb-led slaughter in Sarajevo: "Most embarrassing ... frightful lapse in judgment.")

Yes but then we have a strong diplomatic tradition.

Captain Darling on his way to fight on the front line (and almost certainly be killed) in Blackadder Goes Forth (imagine stereoptypically British phlegma):
- Made a note in my diary on my way here. Simply says 'bugger'.

I wouldn´t say Hugh is RP.
Posh? Yes, but be careful when saying that. Londoner, yes. RP? No.

All foreigners confuse RP.

and i suppose that you are an expert about english accents, being portuguese and all. clark, david bosch and simon are correct. and they all have knowledge of englih language. so don't say that all foreigners confuse rp you jerk.

I don't think Hugh Grant's accent is cockney. Londoner yes.

wrong mate.
