A true story in a similar vein from about 60 years ago, my mothers favourite anecdote; While mum and me were in Gowers and Burgons in FirVale, (then as now, not the most salubrious part of Sheffield, but at least back then we didn't go around wantonly breaking the law and infecting everybody with a deadly virus), we were behind a mother and her young offspring, and the mother said something to the child which he didn't hear, so he said eh?, to which his mother slapped him across the back of the head and shouted at him "don't say eh?, say you what?"

It's the other way round - that's why the BRC&W had to be built in Smerrick!!

Well, I come from Sutton Coldfield, where sex is what coal comes in. We had a parish priest from Coventry - he really did sound the most gloomy individual imaginable, despite doing his best to keep the content of his homilies upbeat. When my children were young, Winnie the Pooh was in the repertoire of bedtime stories. Eyeore was easy to characterise with a West Midlands accent. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is one of the reasons why I thought it was a made up place name. I'd never heard of the place in any other context or saw it on maps, but Jasper Carrott always mentioned it. Then again when I was about 9 or 10 it was on the news that a volcano had erupted in St Helens and I was wondering why I couldn't see it as St Helens was only down the road.... 3 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Solicitors Rolland and Anderson had a new sign painted. Unfortunately the sign writer made a mistake between "Roll" and "and", and "and" and "and", and "and" and "And", and "And" and "erson"... If I got that right that's thirteen consecutive repeated words and grammatically correct. Although if I have cocked it up no doubt someone will point it out in seconds...

Since the mid-50s, Sutton Coldfield has been well known as the site of a major television transmitter.

The original had a distinctive white cylindrical top, vaguely reminiscent of the rubber on the end of a pencil; at least so thought my brother (who is seven years my junior and hence in awe of everything his big brother does - or at least was so, back in 1974) who, seeing it from his push chair, exclaimed "Stephen's pencil!" 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
