麻豆约拍

PHONE-IN
麻豆约拍 presenter Alex Scott says she is proud of her London accent after ex-House of Lords member Digby Jones criticised her pronunciation. Lord Jones tweeted on Friday she "spoils a good presentational job on the 麻豆约拍 Olympics Team with her very noticeable inability to pronounce her 'g's at the end of a word". Alex Scott said she was "proud" to be from a working class family in east London. Lord Digby Jones has followed up his tweets by saying 'It is about the fact that she is wrong. You do not pronounce the English language ending in a 'g' without the 'g' and I don't want her as a role model - and she is one, and a good one - to influence [people] to think that it is very fashionable to go around dropping your 'gs'.'
