Moving fm Sheffield to Leicester 1946,I was the kid always stood in front of the class to tell one of my many many learnt poem's,with not only Sheffield accent but a very rough one.The class then sat for 1-2hrs to try and decypher my English.Ialways remember my mother sending me to shop for some soop what sort of soop iwas asked tomata soop,Nor silly bugger big block green soop ya wash clo'e or kids we'n.

We went on a coach tour of Britain with an Irish guide. Travelling through Yorkshire, he got the Marriot Edgar (author of Albert & the Lion, etc) poem about "The First Yorkshire Pudding". What his Irish accent did to the Yorkshire words just had to be heard to be believed.
