If you hear a voice with an RP accent on the BBC they were probably borne and educated in Kenya, Zimbabwe or South Africa… especially if they're female. The native UK presenters, who are not from north of the Watford Gap, will almost invariably have an estuarine whine… even if they were borne in Kensington and went to Roedean
