So true.
When I worked for BT for a year climbing poles I would travel up to 20 miles from my home town Stafford. If you went north into the potteries you would hear:
"Dust tha nost ah bwut ?" (Do you know anything my good man ?)
If you went south toward the Black Country the same question would be:
"D'yowm now anytheen are keeed ?"
Stafford of course doesn't have an accent. Pure English ....
"Avanyonyergorranyovemonyer ?" (Does anybody have said item about your person.)
