I've found that Brits will append an "r" to a word ending in a vowel only if the next word begins with a vowel. For example, "So, your name is Linda?" would alternatively be said "So, your name is Linder, is it?".

Same with French pronunciation, speaking the normally silent "s" when the next word starts with a vowel, eg "vis-a-vis".
