My Mum is from Newcastle but alas no accent by the 50s, I think it was drummed out of her by the ATS and her in laws. :-|

I love accents, ZZzzz, so I think that's a shame.

Only have one born Newcastle grandchild and she is not at all broad-speaking but her parents (my son is one) aren't either. I have yet to hear her even say 'aye' instead of 'yes'. :-S

I think there has been a lot of twists and turns in this thread. ;-)

Wait until he wakes and sees how his thread has been commandeered ..... skedaddling out of sight, as I write. ;-) :-D

I'm trying to remember what this thread was about, but I have a memory as bad as a fortnight, and that's too weak :-(

For what it's worth I am known as a corkscrew conversationalist :-D
