Would you say that the pronunciation of those two guys is so similar that they can be both lumped in the category of generic "Oxbridge English", or can you hear some clear differences between the two? (lemmy.world)

There are some very minor differences, but they're broadly similar. 2 has a few things like dropping the "f" sound from "of" and using a "v" sound for the last consonant of "with" which I would guess are tinges of a London accent
