My beautiful dialect - the opportunity’s to speak it are so thin these days even in Billinge you can be looked at like you have two heads for speaking it Dialect is so comfy it’s like slipping into warm Panama’s after a day in the rain My job is speaking all day on the phone and it’s like torture to come home and slip into that warming, Germanic tone Thank you for posting this

I'm sure that the one wearing glasses is Tony Case - he ran Whitesides estate agents in Main Street Billinge in the 80's.

The dialect declined since the ‘60s. Speakers will not talk like that to non speakers or in front of them, but will among themselves at home or when they don’t want non speakers to understand or when the feelings are high. Mr Case on the left died, but Fred on the right was still well and …erm something… and gallivanting all morn’ daily last time I checked

Not so much anymore. Like most dialects it’s died out in a far more global world. Time was, I could tell within a couple of miles where someone was from, around the Wigan area.
