They're from your neck of the woods ( sort of), do they make sense to you?

Did you ever think of running for your local county council John?

I believe Riggers is also from the north-west.
The only rep we have from the north-east is blue, although fonz is from Yorkshire...
Anyway, I can understand it when it's just one guy talking, but the conversation has me beaten.

The presenter, Melvyn Bragg, is of course one of a very small number of famous Cumbrians.

Markus do you think it would be better if all our food was consumed in pill form?

Jesus no. I know some fitness freaks that see food as fuel, so they wouldn't mind it. I want to taste the food, especially stuff like a good steak, juices and all. What about you?

I'm going to ignore these attempts to derail the thread.
It's fascinating piece of footage anyway. I think these kind of impenetrable country dialects are a thing of the past now, although I guess some of the younger guys in the video might still be alive.
I remember Billy once sent me a documentary film about this family that lived in the woods in Sussex (just outside Horsham I think). The film was from the early 70s, but they were like something from the 19th century. They made their living fixing bits of machinery, particularly tractors. They were really hard to understand and I found it quite strange that there were people from my lifetime and in my general neck of the woods, who I could barely understand. I'll try and find a clip of the film later.
