Thank You.

Accrington Library, ask to the July/August 1916 newspapers, first read William Turner's Accrington Pals.
When that play was first being performed Atarah was given a copy of the Script, we both spoke into a tape reccorder so the actors would know what a Lanky dialect sounded like, after two pages I said stuff it, thats not the way Lancs men talk to females. We don't say things like "would you mind dear", more like, "Oi thee shut thi cake oyle".
