All the references to Dingles in other threads reminded me. My Dad used to call people from Blackburn "Dud-does" Is anyone else familiar with this terminology?

shocking
How is it shocking? It refers to the way people there pronounced "did" in the olden days. Instead of "I did do" they apparently said "I dud do"
Always known as B'stards to us Dingles

Well it was a long time ago and I've never heard it since.

Now then Dave, that's a bit harsh, we just make the suggestion that you lot are a bit thick like, we don't make comments about your parentage. It's not on.
Yes, there's a bit of Blackburn blood in me, Just one or two generations you understand.......
I recall hearing it too..back in the dim and distant past.....and i think it referred to the fact that folk from Blackburn had a habit of saying 'did do'......instead of just 'did'....but I am happy to stand corrected if anyone out there knows any different.
