[The Hon Sec]

Very much my memories as well. I was the yokel at Grammar School and Posh when I was back in the village.

Still a very few with the local accent up this way.

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

My grandfather, from Halland had a remarkable accent, the like of which is never heard today. And his cousin who owned Staverton nursery near Uckfield was, to me, unintelligible. I so wish I had more family video with that lovely old voice.

 

[Boys 9d]

I remember Paul Plumb who owned a clothes shop in Shoreham who often broadcast on the radio using his modulated Sussex accent. There was also a gardner from Hurstpierpoint with a strong accent who appeared regularly giving gardening tips.

[Green Cross Code Man]

The owner at the tyre place on the Broyle has a great accent.

Was this the same man who did a book with David Arscott called "The Upstart Gardener"? http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Upstart-Gardener-David-Arscott/dp/1870213033

I still feel guilty about the fact that Paul Plumb died before I got round to paying for the trousers that he had made for me (and delivered).

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I may be wrong but i seem to remember a guy called Paul Plumb who was a bit of a lad around the early 70's. A rather rotund guy with a ruddy complextion probably due to a beer or two.

Surely not the same guy?

 

[Working class pride]

It was an accent many of us were brought up hearing and still heard and sometimes even spoken by some of us.
