Linguistics thoughts

[Glaurung]

While I've got it to hand, here's a genuine example of the Norfolk accent that was lampooned in the video I posted two years. A Mr Green, of the village of Stiffkey (inevitably for Norfolk pronounced something like "Stewkey"), interviewed for local television in 1959, by a chap with a very RP accent.

Here's the Facebook post that explains a bit more about it.

Goodness that is tough to understand.

This man could well have been the inspiration for that incomprehensible fellow in hot fuzz

Pleasantly, I can understand most of it fine Some bits at the end are a bit trickier.

And yes - Norfolk and the West Country have somewhat similar accents, though Norfolk is much softer on its consonants.

At the moment I'm playing a Very Norfolk cleric in the D&D game I'm playing in and doing the accent, it's very good fun.
