Not same today, its all muxed up wi folk having been brainwashed, by the one eyed monster in the corner.
Very few people these days, speak with the dialect I was brought up hearing.

I think it started before tv ... maybe the increased mobility during the Industrial Revolution ... I do remember hearing from Sam Wignall in a history class that Pitt reorganised the British army in the 1750s. The regiments would be re-formed on a regional basis to take into account the fact that someone from Blackhall Colliery would be unable to understand someone from Knuzden. But things change, not always for the better. And for your tay ... may I suggest black puddings, with lots of pork fat in 'em ... lashings of mustard. Or maybe a tiddy oggy.
