Whilst there are nuances which belong to and separate towns and villages from one another this is a local dialect and does not belong solely to Dawley. It can be found in Madley, Coalbrookdale, Broseley and Ironbridge at last and I assume further afield in the local area. To claim this accent belongs to Dawley alone is a lie. Get over yourself!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177036080390846638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28832751.post-67540950888768377372012-08-28T13:10:06.961+01:002012-08-28T13:10:06.961+01:00Fantastic! the language of my youth and unfortunat...Fantastic! the language of my youth and unfortunately less people I can talk to using it.

My teacher in the top class in the year when I took the 11+ was George Buttery.Jake Allsophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18352337319705848623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28832751.post-43796648750069915332009-05-07T12:06:00.000+01:002009-05-07T12:06:00.000+01:00Hi Jake,
I just came across your blog because I Go...Hi Jake,<br />I just came across your blog because I Googled 'tek on thee self soft', an expression my father used. I was quite surprised to get a hit on Google and quite enjoyed reading your page. May I offer you a couple that come to mind? The greeting 'addoo' and the time in Hadley County School schoolyard when we were all lined up to go back in after the dinner break when Bill Brothwell (?) the 'gaffer' asked where one of the pupils was. I can still hear the response today: 'Ee gon wum zur'. I must read more of your blog. I agree that 'Telford' is a poor replacement for what the area used to be.
