Oh my goodness, Mr Masters! I remember you sir from when I used to go into the library with my grandad, Reg Corbett whilst my nan used to go round the town (you probably don't remember everyone of course!) Blast from the past, made me smile that has! Hope all is well.
thanks for sharing this (and the other 2 parts) it's brilliant, brings back so many memories. I'm a Brockmoor(ian) now living in Eastbourne and remember so much of the area. still enjoy travelling back every 4 weeks!
It's amazing how a lot of the accents are remarkably different than how most people speak round this area nowadays. Some of the pronunciations sound northern
I grew up in Brierley Hill, still live in the Black Country albeit slightly upmarket Stourbridge now; anyway, still proud to have a Brierley Bonk accent, but you are right what you say - any town now, Dudley, Brierley Hill, Stourbridge - hardly any proper Black Country can be heard! And it's not just Northern....
Sitting in Halesowen today, I saw a group of school kids approaching, all of them speaking in that horrible Thames Estuary accent they get form the TV. The Black Country way of speaking seems to be dying and will probably be gone for ever when those kids have kids in their turn. Very sad.....
The gentleman reading times off the pigeon clocks around 2 mins in was my grandfather, Dick Hickman. He passed away in 1982. He would be 107 now.
