Anyone else enjoying This Town on the BBC?
Story line obviously ‘bigged’ up beyond that which history provided and disturbing at times but the acting and sound track is excellent. Not sure, like others, that the actor’s accents reflect that I recall from my experience. Having said that I didn’t always understand my friends from this part of the country. Looking forward to further episodes.

Yes, we have relatives who migrated across to Isle of Axholme in the 1980’s. Childrens accents are more Lincs, even though one of the children actually stayed in South Yorks school. OH’s family on his Mum’s side were from Tees area, Yorkshire but with a lovely softer undertoneš
Going back to the Birmingham accent, I recall going to a conference in central Birmingham in the late 1980’s. Friend and me couldn’t keep a straight face when we overheard two Birmingham based attendees moaning, in very broad Brummie, about the funny accents of other attendeesš¤£
