The people seem to think he is funny. So what language is that ? I'm confused

Bloody hilarious Bobby

it's the regional accent / dialect of the north east of england. mind you, there's a diversity of accents even within the region, so much so that if you accused me of having the same accent as little bobby there, I'd be most upset, because he's more from sunderland / county durham way, and I'm pure tyneside, so there is a big difference. To us anyway. just out of interst, that clip was flimed at Percy Main working man's club (C.I.U. affiliated obviously) in Gateshead. Ridley and Tony Scott are from Percy Main. It's quite likely that some of the audience ther are related to them. Canny.

Glad you enjoyed it Will. Ther's a dvd available of it, with his war 'memoirs' too.

Ah Steve. I've forgiven you for absolutely anything and everything you may have done, will do or have even thought about doing wrong in your life now that I know you are a Northerner.

I might even forgive you the Edinburgh is in England thing. Wait, no. I was happy about that. We don't want Edinburgh up here - they put brown sauce on their chips instead of vinegar. A heinous crime!

steve harper's an easington lad isn't he? tell you what does my nut in about chip shops outside the north is that you can't get fckn batter scraps on your chips (bobby thompson reference again there Bigsteve) what a bloody disgrace. they look at you like you've just farted when you ask for them. got my local chippy in coventry trained now though.

Chips cooked in beef dripping eh? Ah happy days. 'though it breaks every heathy eating warning under the sun nowadays, you still can't beat it for taste can you?

Talking of days gone by: before health and safety guidelines spoiled the great British tradition of wrapping chips in newspaper, I happened to find myself in an Edinburgh chippy which obviously had ideas well above its station as a gastronomic paradise. Quite apart from them looking at me as if I'd beamed in from the planet of the Oiks when I insisted on vinegar instead of sauce, I received my chips all parcelled up in a copy of ...

...the Financial Times.

Only in Edinburgh.

Must be a Midlands thing. Fish and chips cooked in lard and batter scraps, every where in Suffolk
Did a demo in Sheffield once, Fiona. Does that make me a Northerner?

to become a northerer it not just a matter of visiiting there - its a way of thinking ,its the way you look at life,its the way you view life and more importantly how much are you going to pay us to accept you!!!!!

I used to and still do drink, Newcastle Brown, or Nuclear brown..

I had a very bad experience with some of that and a prawn curry in 1977. Haven't been able to touch either since.

Dangerous things them thar prawn curries!

I have a similar experience every time as well, but I still drink it. Does that make me a northerner?
