*        Hello, Mum!

†        That is most odd, Olga.   Mind you, the few services I use on my phone’s browser are usually Google ones.   Saying that?   The browser’s kept the few non-Google passwords I use.   I really don’t know what’s happening there.

        I know I’m saying this to a non-monarchist! … But it might be an idea to show Jordi some of the late Queen’s speeches: and, according to this video, Google, Siri, and Alexa all use RP.   I don’t know if that’s any help, though: Siri had problems with Scottish accents … 

‡        It’s hopefully ok, Debbi: I’ve tried to keep them short!
