"The traditional dialect of the region is middle-class use of Received Pronunciation; which is currently in decline. As of 2006, the working-class influenced Estuary English accent is more often found in the urbanised parts of the region."
- ugh. there are plenty of traditional southeastern working class/rural accents: RP is far from a south eastern regional thing - and nor is the south east uniformly middle class. Morwen - Talk 14:43, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Major urban areas
I reverted a good faith edit by an anon editor, because the source data didn't support his figures. But now I think he was probably right so I've raised a challenge at talk:List of conurbations in the United Kingdom because for example the figure there for Southampton UA doesn't match the figure at Southampton Urban Area. Comments there welcome. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 18:35, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
- It turns out that the original figure for Southampton UA was a previous editor's construction that did not use the ONS definition. The anon editor is not correct. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 17:32, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
