[QUOTE="UNG, post: 499439, member: 8931"] I always remember a double LP that was released by the Liverpool Echo in 1971 called Echoes of Merseyside which featured dialect and songs from a lot of famous and not so famous scousers at the time. One of the bits I quite often chuckle about was the young kid at school and the teacher was teaching them how to talk posh so the kid goes home and tells the mum and dad what they have learnt that day and gets told by dad to talk proper and none of that posh stuff When I was at school I had a mate whose grandad came to live with his parents after his nan died he originally came from Westhoughton and had a very strong Lancashire accent, occasionally he would go off into Lancs speak which is a bit like Geordie, it was slow down and explain cos I ain't got a clue what you are on about when he found out I was left handed instead of being called by my name he always called me kibbut (don't know if the spelling is right) Looking at some local dialect sites it is quite surprising how a lot of words and phrases have now found their way into the mainstream of conversation across the country probably due to the more mobile society we have now [/QUOTE]
