Talk:Carol Klein

Fruity
Is Carol the sexiest sexagenarian on TV? The Telegraph says her gorgeous seductive accent is "mainly West Country", but to me it's almost pure Bolton. She has some rhotic r's that would put Fred Dibnah to shame. 109.153.202.189 (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)


 * As one who grew up in and is currently resident in the West Country, I agree that there's nothing 'West Country' about her accent. To my ears she sounds almost indistinguishable from Jeanette Winterson, who was born in Manchester and grew up in Accrington. Qwfp (talk) 16:49, 29 January 2013 (UTC)

Maiden name
A possible maiden name of Amies was briefly added, but then removed here. Here's a copy of a cutting from a local newspaper on Facebook, of when she was an Art teacher at the Christopher Wren School in Shepherd's Bush. But not a good enough source really. Perhaps someone has a copy of the original newspaper? Looking at FreeBMD, I cannot find any birth record for 1945, but her marriage record is probably here, confirming her middle initial.

 * The artcile used to say that she: "... taught in schools in Shepherd's Bush, London before moving to Devon. There she lectured at North Devon College and taught art at South Molton Secondary School and Community College before setting up her own plant nursery..." But I can longer find any good sources for this. Can this be verified at all? It seem she took a university degree in Fine Art was was teaching for 13 years, so quite a large chunk of time.
