Hi Mik . I cant imagine what a cultured accent you have now , a Bradford , Lancastrian , with a hint of German . Thanks for your trust Mik , too many buggers despense their feeling on to their families , you were correct in leaving , thats when its hurts them when there is nobody to thump. my father was a boozer but not a violent one fortunately for him he was only 9 stone wet through . I cant get any answer to my question re-Stantons pop , it seems all Bradford people remember Stantons of Accrington , but no Accringtonians remember Stantons ... Cheers pete
