Thanks a million for posting this. I came to the Potteries from the rural South in 1970 to work down the pit and stayed 17 years till I moved to work in Yorkshire pits. I had to learn a whole new language and fast. Not only was the dialect at its strongest in the pit, each pit had it's own words for everything. Pit towk on steroids. Potteries folk were the friendliest I ever came across and if it wasn't for Thatcher, I would still be there. The Geordies were grand lads but their lingo was really hard to crack. They were often teased with the saying that when the north east pits were closed, 'way got th'wost of th'deal. Syth Weels got th'poonies, way got th'Geordies

takes me back to hear this, from 1970 on, I had 17 years down pits up and down the potteries where the accent and dialect was at it's strongest. Largely disappeared now like so many regional dialects.

I grew up in Norton and I can understand every word of this, but I remember being the on the bus when I were a kid and listening the old folk. It were much stronger than this. True potters dialect is sadly long gone. Love listening to this though.
