Fred Dibnah. Classic. A complete one-off. I'll say rest in peace but knowing Fred he'll be mithering* god for a chimney to knock down or the nearest traction engine rally. Brilliant !!
* continually asking, to the point of being an irritation. Trotter and other people from NW England will know what this means.
Rep points for you.
Fred, made Bolton his TV shows showed the rest of the UK what Bolton was about and like.
And Aye, the wife has been ''mithering'' me all day to do the garden
What about the cast from Heartbeat?
Somebody must talk with a decent Yorkshire accent?

'Heartbeat' is'nt the only programme to be cursed with these inaccuracies. 'Emmerdale' had Jack Sugden - a Yorkshire farmer with a Liverpool accent !!! The Dingle family's accent is from west of the Pennine's too.
Don't watch Heartbeat much but I do know that Bill Maynard ( Greengrass) grew up in Leicester but that isn't a Leicester accent he uses in Heartbeat. ( compare Greengrass to Gary Lineker, perhaps the most famous son of Leicester).
Accent's can vary literally within a few miles. There is a noticeable difference between Liverpool and St Helens or between Manchester and Oldham.
