Owd Grandad Piggott and How to Swing a Pick

Owd Grandad Piggott.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

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.

[@donniejr1657]

When I explain to people where my dad's family is from (his grandfather came to the states from 'Castle), I often point to these Piggot videos.
