Yep, Cockney was the only one I felt I could safely eliminate!

Essentially the 'proper' British accent that was (is?) taught as the formal pronunciation of the language. It isn't from any one region of the UK, instead being created as the accent to teach to fancy people, hence the name

(correct me if I've made mistakes)

It also occasionally gets called BBC English. Just listen to a BBC newsreader and it's probably what you'll hear.

Imagine (or find a recording of) a BBC radio announcer from the mid-20th century.

How he (and it will be a he at that point) is speaking? That's received pronunciation.

It's the pronunciation used by a very small percentage of people predominantly living in the southeast of England. Most dictionaries and English learning textbooks adhere to this standard.

It's used in official pronunciations, broadcasts etc, it's the most posh British accent (aside from Heightened Received Pronunciation). As a Londoner, I would say that the majority of Londoners (especially elderly white Brits) speak with RP, whereas HRP is not really used normally by anyone except maybe the royal family.

loved answer D to question 8.

Those of us from the West Midlands would know that the local accent is about as far from the Queen's English as it is possible to be.

9/10 didn't know the car, Q9 & Q10 were lucky guesses.

RP is what they used to have to speak on the radio and BBC.

Didn't know the car or the song, watching a lot of Britbox helped out on Q8, knew the rest. I expect a goodly number of 10/10 rounds to come today...

Yes, the initial 3..2..1.. countdown before question 1 went away, about a week or 2 ago.

I've gotten so, so many religious questions wrong in a row that, by now, statistically speaking, I have a 25% chance of getting the next one right.

10/10, just scraped 9,900 on the dot, with an educated guess on Jainism and a very lucky one on the electric car

7/10 today. Not bad for me. I tend to get the popular culture questions correct, which is telling of what I pay attention to.If only I was more interested in history instead of the lives of famous people. I don't even like famous people, but my brain soaks that shit up. Social Media, smh. Read a book about ancient Chinese feudalism, why don't I?

On a nice 10/10 roll, but slow again. I took embassaringly long on the first question, and had to think for a while on 9 as well.
