I frequently listen to the BBC World Service while commuting. It's a wonderful opportunity to hear, and attempt to analyze accents. Just the words "World Service" are spoken in so may wonderfully interesting ways.
The typical "BBC Presenter" received pronunciation version is something along the lines of wuhld suh-viss.
That may be followed by a woman with an Irish accent which sounds like wear-ald sair-viss.
'A damned ill-conditioned sort of an ape. It had a can of ale at every pot-house on the road, and is reeling drunk. "
