      Regional accents exist, in class status terms, below RP. Scot-
tish, Welsh and Irish are generally the more popular regional accents.
Then come northern, Yorkshire and west country accents, and at the
bottom of the list come the least popular urban accents of London,
Liverpool and Glasgow. Significantly the television news is often read
by someone with a regional accent. Is there an implicit difference in
the importance and status of news and weather?
      Do dialect and accent enrich or impoverish? Some argue that
regional accents enhance the sense of local community, and that to
abandon them is to give way to the accents of the ruling class. Others
argue that they are socially divisive. Dialect is unlikely to disappear
and the debate is likely to continue.
