I live in London, in the east end, although I was not born there. Family is Scottish on both sides. Have worked in education, in various jobs, for nearly 40 years.

95 Funny And Relatable Medical Memes That Might Be Just What The Doctor Ordered

This "joke" always annoys me. It's as silly as saying that eating one chocolate bar every month or two is as harmful to your health and weight as eating ONLY chocolate bars all day every day for years and years.

Oh god, please can we not do the same arguments over and over again. No-one changes their minds, it's pointless.

These days, hardly anyone from the UK would "put on" an RP accent. Certainly not those of us from working class backgrounds. We're very proud of our regional dialects. Our accents are a big part of our identity and sense of pride. An RP accent is associated with privilege. We wouldn't dream of pretending to have been born into privilege if we weren't. The reason you hear so many British people in the media speak RP is because historically, it was the accent favoured by elite drama schools (who would often "train" students out of their accent) and by the BBC. You'll hear a whole wealth of regional dialects on TV in the UK now.

50 Science Facts So Terrifying, You May Wish You Never Learned Them
50 Science Facts So Terrifying, You May Wish You Never Learned Them

I'm old enough that I grew up in a time before some common childhood vaccines. As a child I had measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. And then, in my 50s, I ended up getting whooping cough! Wish there had been the vaccines when I was young.
