LOL ... bless, I'm a Derbyshire lad, and I've 'pissed mi'sen laffin'! not one of them sounded like they came from Derbyshire, some where a bit Geordie and couple actually sounded Scottish!! ...but 10 out of 10 for effort chaps!! bless ... LOL

That had me a tears of laughter!  I was born and raised in Derbyshire. I think my accent is much tamer than that, but I certainly recognize much of it and still use some of the words.

Tiger nuts are rubbish by the way.

Thanks for making me laugh until I cried! I'll be sending a link to my Derbyshire brethren. I don't like there anymore, but when we next have a get together, I'll see if I can persuade a few others and we'll do a reading for you :D

where the toffees were good tiger nuts and chewing wood we didn't have much in them there days but we grew up better in so many ways all my mates smile when we think of the past we did some right things and had some right laughs things have all changed in many a way and nothing's the same in Ilson today. good ol' Derbyshire dialect there, things really have changed :)

so he'd throw something at us and we would have some lip soon would come monday morning and off to school we'd go but sometimes i'd go down to the fields thinking nobody would know until the school bobby turned up at home i didn't know what to do my father belted me that night until mum said, "Give over, Jack!" that belt didn't half come keen, you know he nearly broke my back when thursday came, we'd wait for dad he'd give us a half-penny that's all we had we'd go down to the shop

we'd get up sunday morning and get on out to play it was stew pot for your breakfast and bread and lard for tea if your old man shouted you you doesn't stay on out you knew you'd have to come on in or else you'd get a clout my mum was always working so we kept out of her way we'd clear off down into the fields and some right good games we'd play or sometimes we'd stay in the street and get ourselves into a fight we'd play under Dobba's window when he was still asleep

The scary thing is, alot of Derbyshire still sounds like that today. Well not fully but the traces remain.

Its not supposed to sound like actual Derbyshire accents. I thought it was obvious that it was Americans reading a poem written in the Derbyshire dialect. It was just meant to be an experiment. No offense intended.

[KingsTroop24]
