Well, it’s not that she sounds more “common,” it’s just that she doesn’t speak in BBC English.

She will be mortified to hear that she is adding the common touch to balance out my poshness. Brilliant. She works in an industry where it actually helps to be posh. No-one I work with cares, beyond the opportunity for easy jokes.

I listened to that podcast a few days late, but I must say, Mrs. Toad indeed has good taste. It was a funny thing, but that dilemma you described, where her old records were all good and old punk, while her current taste is along the lines of crap dance music (the Madonnas and Kylies of the world, I think you mentioned?), reminds me of the transformation my mom made somewhere along the late 1990s. Mrs. Toad is wittier than my mom, though. To second Shane, I hope she comes back for another round to balance out your poshness.

bring her back! swearing in a scottish accent is a wonderful counterpoint to swearing in your can-only-be-described-as-posh (no offence) accent.
