Comment on Can you tell the native language of the people from these clips?

The first two may have spent several years in south east England or spent a long time there - but they're not native speakers. I wonder at what age they stopped being "raised" though as I'd think at least a few formative years spent there to pick up that much of an accent.

The both initially moved to England for university - him at 19 and her at 21.

Wow, seems faster than I'd have though to pick up that much of an accent.
Then again if they were students they'd traditionally be expected to watch a lot of 'Eastenders'.
