we used to play relivo in that boat yard as youngens ... john bob, smiler (wayne and gary smailes) and mick Muldoon and gary oliver .. bah lang time ago noo
I'm from tha U.S. (Specifically Oklahoma) & I've been told for a long time my English bloodline traces back to both Newbiggin-By-The-Sea and Manchester as well. As I've become a fan of northerners like The Fall, The Buzzcocks, Magazine, & Joy Division, I'm curious if tha Mancurian accent is similar to tha accent that may be tha most common in Newbiggin-By-The-Sea?
K. Oss No, it's completely different. Both those places are on opposite sides of of the country and Northumberland is much further north. This man has a great Northumbrian accent which is sadly disappearing with the newer generations. The 'r' pronounced in the back of the throat is distinctive to Northumberland.
it is right jackie says there is as much difference between a whitby and a northumberland coble, that coble is the seahouses que coble. so quite obviously jackie doesnt know the difference between chalk and cheese.
+anya clay Small World! I am a Clay from the North East too! Just trying to put a timeline on these things. As a boy in early 1960's I remember that all the boats were on rubber wheels and hauled by a Tractor with ropes attached to the wheels. My Dad, John, helped on two boats - 'Adventure', owner John Brown with crewman Phillip Dent and 'Endeavour', owner Twizell Dent. I also remember the loss of the 'Eventide' in 1966 with Edward Robinson and his sons William and Richard. I saw her launching the evening she was lost.
