The Liverpool School of English
I passed this place on Mount Pleasant
The Liverpool School of English
I’m not going to make the obvious joke, but I suspect they’ll give their students a rather different grounding to those schools in places like Bournemouth or Cambridge.
I’m reminded of the time, when flying down to the South of France, when the air traffic controller at Lyon, had a distinct Brummie sound. It turned out that as the French at the time were worried about the English of their controllers, he ‘d done part of his training in Birmingham.
I do suspect though that the Liverpool School of English has suffered in the acts of many Liverpudlian comedians.

I think it odd that anyone would consider the English spoken in Liverpool, or Birmingham, or any UK town or city with an accent (which is all of them if you think about it) somehow less valid or correct than the English spoken in Bournemouth or Cambridge. I would be interested to hear your reasoning.
