Yup. The clearest pronunciation of all in the UK comes with an accent from
the NE of Scotland. Not to be confused with the dialect from there,
obviously. 'BBC perceived pronunciation' is actually quite poor. Too many
words with different meanings sounding the same. Wales and whales being
the obvious one.
