Wow, what a very lovely person he is. I found this vid when i search for Dorset accent. I am a foreigner who really fall in love with The Famous Five till my own character growing up like George's. Wish oneday i can visit Dorset.
I'm now about as far as you can get from Dorset but I lived there for a few years. It's utterly gorgeous. The people, the accents, the scenery, the history... it's like living in a novel. It totally won my heart.
@@labibbidabibbadum Our families are very large and many have been in the West for hundreds of years. Very close people, used to be picked off as slaves by the African and Arabian people from the Cornwall coast 300 years ago, not many people know about English slaves. They didnt have it easy in the West, I think it made them all grow up very resilient and not caring about the little things. They will welcome anyone from anywhere for a cup of tea.
We have a lady like him in my village, she smile and wave at people passing by, sit on the corner of the main street. "Hello m'lady!! hello gentlemen!! hello lads!!! 'good evening!!! :D ". Rain or not, she's always there, at least few hours per day. n_n
Wow, watching this is almost nostalgic in a way… It’s so awesome seeing him full of life and light :) My Nan and Pap are almost in their mid 90s. I moved from Portland (where they still live) to NZ when I was little. My parents & older siblings put on this accent when they do a bit of “talk like a farmer” speak… This is the way I remember both my grandparents sounding. Xx
@The505Guys Bit of both I'd say. A fair amount of people also don't wanna be associated with the accent's stereotypes. After the war a lot of east Londoners moved further out to the west country, bringing their way of speech with them. The lack of the accent in the media compared to standard English is also a driving factor, as well as RP school teachers beating the accent and dialect out of students, as a form of 'improper english' or 'slang. The West country way of speaking itself comes from West Saxon, the language/dialect spoken within wessex, the courts of king alfred. However, after the norman conquest ended Wessex's dominance, it was far less used in literature. The standard english of today is mostly east mercian in origin, as well as kentish influence, forming around the thames.
I was starting to think the idea that the pirate accent was from the West Country dialect was made up because no examples I could find matched it. Well, this is the closest. Wish I could find more examples of Dorset speak.
Such a tragedy that these local accents are disappearing. I found this video while trying to figure out which accent the villagers in Fable are using, and it turns out the only young people who speak this way are voice actors.
Neil Help True but I’m from Ferndown though which is just outside of Bournemouth near Hurn airport. My great grandparents are from Wimborne and have strong Dorset accents.
@@neilhelp2043 It's a weird one, if you live in the Bournemouth/Poole sub area your accent is distinct from the rest of the County, I'm from Poole and I've come to notice we have a more urbanised accent
By what you've said, he's most likely dead, when you said that i pretty much already accepted that he died, he's done this for 8 years or so and you haven't seen him for months? now probably a year, such a shame :((
this was 6 months ago but: "i turned up and proved that i be 'ere"..."well i like to come up 'ere now to get some air in my lungs, that's the most important thing. and then i can go back and have my grub then"..."there's my next door neighbour there, my next door neighbour"... "hello my love"..."they be looking at you, think you be a copper. Speed camera, that's what they be thinkin"..." hers going up to portland her is"
Sad to say, our friend and neighbour passed away this week. The Mayor of Swyre will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
He lived a good life. You can tell he was at peace. He is resting in peace
He's the jolliest pirate I've ever seen!
I was just about to comment this, but I see I've beaten me to the punch.
Wow, what a very lovely person he is. I found this vid when i search for Dorset accent. I am a foreigner who really fall in love with The Famous Five till my own character growing up like George's. Wish oneday i can visit Dorset.
it's a nice place, the people are very freindly.

I live in east Dorset but sadly the Dorset accent has all but faded here due to ‘grockles’ lol
VERY sadly Michael has past away.😥😥😥
27th February 2020, RIP Micheal
Rest in peace 💙
I'm sad to hear that 😔 may he rest in peace 🙏🏽
This is what community is all about. Wonderful chap.
Bless him, great character. Have seen him there waving quite a few times. We used to "whoop" the sirens on the ambulance to him. He loved it. RIP Mike
What a character and a great guy who spoke to anyone (myself included) sadly missed even by this Yorkshire guy
What a true English gentleman

Michael a legend! Pass him on my morning journeys to work 😀🤣

Proud to be from Dorset 👍
Bournemouth isn't really Dorset though. You big city folk give Dorset a bad name
@@user-zy9yg2eu5t No Bournemouths good, it’s good to have a bit of diversity from big town and outstanding countryside
@@johnadams8718 Bournemouth is full of Tourists in the summer and Smackheads in the winter.
@@user-zy9yg2eu5t pretty much the story of every British seaside town/city
He’s on the road to Weymouth 😂
Top bloke.
Rip Michael we miss you 😢
Bless him!
That be a proper Dorset accent, sounds similar to the true isle of wight dialect and language.
It’s Hampshire
@@misplacedkiwi9498 what makes you say?
You can still hear some of the older gentleman from the Isle of Wight and they do sound the same.
@@Butterflylion1 aye, the old west country accent. Such a shame its dying pretty rapidly.

Sadly, Michael is no longer with us. R.I.P.
Love this man ❤🇬🇧
Wish there was anybody this nice in America. It fucking sucks living here. I hate it and I'm very depressed. Don't know where else to go sadly
Rip michEl bless you💔missed today and always 😢
Its the laugh for me 🥰

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrr! Yo ho ho he be the jolliest pi-rate this soyde of the seven seas!
Lovely community.
Joseph Ducreux 1735-1802 , reincarnated.
Anywhere else they'd lock him up for his own safety.
They would if he's 50 years younger and doing it outside a prep school 🤣🤣
In a museum
English Countryside, best place in the world
He remind me of Mr. Krabs
I’m from Dorset but my accent sounds nothing like that. He sounds more like a Somerset bloke.
Same here proudly from bmouth I wanna see him though. It's mainly like Dorchester way
Thats because where u live used to be hampshire not dorset
Neil Help yeah

Sounds like the Sea Captain from The Simpsons.
I haven't seen him for moths. Where is Michael?
