I visit the North East quite a bit as I have son who lives there in High Heaton and works in Durham.Wondereful area and perhaps it has something to do with our lasting up to today of course. Good bear,grub and people.

I have a mate who like me was born in Uttoxeter on the same day in the same street and both named Smith.Caused a lot of confusion at school.

Tracy is Herordshire and I’m Radnorshire-Herefordshire border Pete which is a language completely slang. That’s why years ago, you thought the drivers at the Gore were speaking Welsh.
Cheers Dave.

Haha, I remember that Dave! Very regional around here, Wirksworth folk speak differently to Matlock etc. In Matlock they call ‘guttering’ LAUNDER yet my pals in Buxton and Bakewell had never heard that expression and they are born and bred in the area. Imagine my problem 40 years ago coming from Berkshire and arriving at Ballidon quarry where we had folk from all over the show, Potteries, Staffs, Ashbourne, Manifold Valley, Buxton as well as all the small villages, they couldn’t understand me and vice versa! At Ballidon we used to play football at snap time and this lad told me to ‘fetch the pill’ which meant get the ball! Hadn’t a clue what he was on about.

Sorry for Typo Pete. Should read Tracy is from Herefordshire, but has lived over the border long enough to understand the lingo.
