What is that posh British accent called?

[Fajita Jim]

The one that pisses everyone off? And no, it's not Cockney.

I can't claim to know much about British regional dialects and accents, but General (sorry, "field martial") Montgomery is often cited as the definitive example, and he was from Surrey.

And it goes without saying, but John Oliver is a national treasure of the USA and UK.

"His style leans toward the kind that Americans like best from the British – exaggerated, full of odd accents and mannerisms, in the vein of Monty Python."[6] Oliver describes his own accent as a "mongrel" of Brummie, Scouse, and Bedford influences.[88]
