Despite living in London since 1975, people still ask me where I come from (Blackburn, actually). But my grandfather (from Oswaldtwistle) could speak dialect, which used quite a different vocabulary - the use of thee and thou (with quite distinct usages) for example. Another was the word sneck instead of latch (on a door). Places might be named after the people who lived there eg Tum o’Dick o’Bob’s. A saying I remember is “Clogs to Clogs i’ three generations”. Most of this has inevitably passed away now and I can’t help but feel we have lost something of ourselves. Si thi, tha knoas

I'm from Florida, but I've lived in Lancashire (Blackburn, actually) for about 10 years now. I worked in Accrington with people from all around, for instance a Burnley lass who would say stairs like 'stayas' and a lad from Clayton-le-Moors with a hilariously broad accent. There was also a woman born and raised in Oswaldtwistle ('below the lamp' if I recall correctly), or 'Twizzle-twozzle' as she would say; it was absolutely fascinating to hear about the dialect there - things like 'wherst thu from', et cetera. And I love how she said 'cowd' (cold).

If this guy interviewing the old man had met up with my friend Margaret he would never have understood her, she is true Lancashire,as are some of her friends, I don’t understand them when they get talking real lanky, but then it varies from town to town...

Could you tell us some stories from Lancashire, like do you have any tales to share from Lancashire where you’re from, you know how you’re from there - Lancashire - are there any anecdotes you can pass along which come from Lancashire which is the place you’re from, tell us some, come on. How old are you?
