  4. They really said that? Most unusual. Normally folk from Yorkshire make no mention of where they're from ;)...

    Who said "I heard that. Pardon?" It was an old chap on a sitcom long ago :)

    exactly! my mrs is from wolves and i worked in cannock for 10 years, therefore i've picked up bits of both and can deffo say, none of them are brummie...... people seem to band midlands accents together, i would class jasper carrot as your stereotypical brummie and lenny henry is more black country, with frank skinner somewhere between the two.

    All I can say is, it's a good job you typed that, cos there's no way we would have understood you speaking it! :D
     
  17. I'm not keen on the generic English 'countryside' Marmitekicker accent. My mate's grandad had a proper old sussex accent which sounds a bit like a West Country accent or a Norwich accent. They all sound a bit like the Grundys from The Archers. :(

    I used to love "I didn't know you cared" at the time, what's the betting I'd think ' Wots this cobblers?' If I saw it now? Uncle Stavely carried the ashes of an old war comrade(I seem to remember) in a box hung from his neck. And the brilliant Liz Smith was in it if course :)
     
  20. I'd forgotten all about that show........pardon? See Nana from The Royal Family before she was related to Bobby and Sheila Grant. ;)
