BRIAN: As I say I was bought
up a council boy and I lived on a council estate, and we were lucky enough
to qualify for Grammar School. But even my Dad, who, you know, there was
nobody more passionate than my Dad about the Black Country. As soon as
he knew we went to Grammar School 'e would say to us "When yow go
to Grammar School you gotta drop your doh's, you gotta drop your cor's,
becoss you cor spake like that in Grammar School." And you did experience,
for a time, that. Until you realise, well, why am I doin' this? You know.
I'm, I'm a council boy and I speak like this amd I'm proud of it. And
then you just reverted back to your Black - and they just took it or left
it, as far as we were concerned. You know.
