Yeah, mainly in the leafy suburbs in the south of the city.

"Is Steven Gerrard's considered a posh Scouse accent?"
No.
Mine isn’t very strong now but don’t think I could ever be considered to have a posh Scouse accent. |

If you had somebody with a standard stereotype scouse accent and somebody with a posh scouse accent.
You could tell the difference easily. |

Tbf you can’t always tell and I am not sure it matters that much what bit of Liverpool you are from.
Some people who were born and raised on a private street and spent their childhood riding their pedigree horses through the alps (whilst mummy and daddy were busy killing kittens ??) will hit puberty and force some try hard ‘inner city’ noise out of their nose and glutteral k flem all over the TT (90’s girl here) they got for turning 17. They will then pretend that they got the car through pimpin der bitch laaa.
Then you get people who just want to communicate without sounding like a charcuterie of a ‘scal’ who love their city and speak like they have a brain.
There are people in the middle
There are wools.

In addition to my earlier post you maybe able to count people (aged 40 plus) from alerton and penny lane way. Although we lived in L6 my mum had friends around that way and I remember most of them having softer accents, never heard any ‘how now brown cow’ stuff tho unless they were putting it on for some social mobility reason or maybe studied in that there London for a while and decided to misappropriate their southern banker (replace the b  ) chums. |

Feel like I am taking over now lol x
POSH originally stood for ‘port out starboard home’ which back in the day was the first class of the long voyager ships.
The titanic was launched from Liverpool and it was a rich city I am sure there still are a few ancestors of the millionaires merchants who didn’t get on that day.
Technically being posh has nothing to do with the accent xxx
Being perdantic now, soz, will get my coat. |

That’s where most of the Beatles were born and raised anyway, they were educated middle class boys. That’s probably where the other poster recognised Paul Mc’s accent from. |
