Or Philippinos with fake English names?!

Was told that many have Tagalog names which are fairly unpronounceable so adopt English names in Dubai, not realising that some of the names are wayyyy out of date: Edith, Dot, Pearl, Ivy, Ethel

Haha! "Fake" english names? lol. No. Believe it or not, that's their real names. They don't have a local name and then an english name like for example the chinese.

A woman in our company, who thinks she's really something, is getting on my nerves with her plummy accent. I might have to pull her up about it one day.

Hey, I'm a Filipino.
And I can say that you probably don't know what you are talking about.
There's no such thing as Tagalog name. We are part of the open world where we can choose any name we want for our children.

Okay let's say those are their names, probably names of people you knew.

So what!? Does your name make you better than the rest of the world who have outdated names?

Hey, not being Philippino, what would I know??? Of course.

Perhaps just the labour cards that the Philippinas have shown me as part of my job. Names are different on their name badges. Simple.

No need to be so sensitive.

I have a feeling you will hate them anyways 💡

I don't really care of any accent, fake or not, it's the credentials they put in their CV that I find despicable!

First of all there's no such thing as a British accent, faked or not, since that's the original language. Technically all other non British people will have some sort of accent. Another thing: If I am not a native speaker I will have the accent according to whom I learned English from.
The more you learn more accurate your English shall be and you will sound more and more like a native speaker. That's the idea.
Nothing to do with not being proud where you come from, by the way.

Your real name isn't DOT is it?
