The official "Teach Clive English" thread

[Trekker]

I have now lived longer in the Black Country than my native Great Barr, and I was amazed by the variation in accent and dialect within a few miles. Netherton to Lye is different.

Have you got a cold

Only you would get that right Clive. :1: :1:

Actually, it took me 20 seconds. However, it does help that right now I'm working with a couple of folk from Wolverhampton.

You must tell us a few Enoch ("Aynock") and Eli ("Ehloy") stories, Clive.

I know Aynoch he's a great bloke. Ayli passed away some years back.
Aynoch is always an old fashioned gentleman, and he used to do the best hot pork sandwiches from his shop in Netherton

I do love the Black Country accent.

Playing cricket at places like Old Hill and Stourbridge were great fun although it was hard to know what the crowd were saying to you.

Interesting we don't have a similar thread for Danny Villaman. Being born deaf and being born in the black country are equally debilitating :)
