RIP Ms Dunning. My spoken English is the way it is largely because of the hours spent with you. An RP accent, as I later learned. (I can remember your room even now. Somewhat stuffy but always warm and welcoming.) Truth be told, the lessons began due to being bullied for my foreign accent! But I came to love standing up and reading - still do. Thanks for my years as a newsreader and playwright.
