That's classic BC Jackienock, wonder if they still speak with such a strong BC accent today, I haven't noticed it to be so broad when I have been over there shopping, or to the Library, don't know what it is like in the back streets of Cradley Heath though? Linell.
Hi Linell,
You need to visit the library when my Mom is in there..... I was recently having a conversation at work when I told them that even now if my Mom sees me eating chocolate she's most likely to say ' Theest be as fat as a Tunkey Pig (I haven't a clue what one is) if thee ates all that' Or if I'm going sonewhere she disapproves of it will be ' Thee bisn't gooin theer bist?' How bist me mon? was always the favourite greeting of my mother in law on seeing my eldest son. Even now if we all get together it's most definately the broad BC accent that's uppermost.
