I have an older (retired) male friend/acquaintance who lives in a provincial town.
He is convinced he is called 'sir' in shops etc and addressed more courteously as he speaks in this way and not in the local/regional accent.
The merits of being attractive have recently been discussed. Is speaking 'RP' an advantage?

Is life easier in some ways for people who speak RP?
