       @fatboy I like British accent. Then I normally don't understand anything but it sounds very elegant to me.

       @fatboyI have watched in YouTube videos some British conversations and speeches in the early half of the 20th centry https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xL_sMXfzzyA (A conversation with Bertrand Russell) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aEESoO7cN_g (Bernard Shaw's first visit to America) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dMyv6vFVd5w (Mr MacDonald introduces the new Labour Cabinet in the garden of No 10 Downing Street.)

       @fatboyI think the the accent of these people in the videos sounds quite different from what we call British accent today. I wonder if that was what British accent sounds like in that period? Or maybe these people were actually speaking Transatlantic English? I think there is likely a shift in British accent,  does anyone know when and how did that shift took place ?

       @Krypton @fatboy These examples only represent educated white people of a certain class. Additionaly, Mr. MacDonald is surely of Scottish hertiage and Bernard Shaw is Irish.Language and accents are continually shifting in every language all over the world. This is natural and very hard to pin down to a single moment.I'm no linguist, so I can't speak on a deeper level. I can highly recommend the podcast "Lexicon Valley" if you want some good content on linguistics--by actual professionals.
