Really!? Do you always pronounce "I am" and never "I'm" (or "they're", or whatever)? Do you watch a program pronounced "Britain has got Talent"? Do you always say "/eɪ/ car" and never "/e/ car" and not in the least "/ə/ car" no matter what speed you talk? If your answer to those question -and a thousand more, very similar- is a 100% yes, then you're right, it's an unfair generalization on my part.
Are you an RP native speaker, like less than 2% of Britain's population?
