GARY: This area, it was
the engineerin' sort o', it it was the engine o' the world basically;
it was the design centre o' the world at one time. Now you know, 'ow could
ya say that a bloke 'oo was, er, workin' in sort o' design in a, you know,
a pattern-meker, or summat like that in a foundry that'd got a th-, er,
a strong dialect accent, 'oo was buildin' things that were bein' shipped
all round the world, you know, from bridges to God knows what. These blokes
war think. At all. They was anythin' but. It was just somethin' that,
p'raps it was a bit of the class thing, an' it was always a workin' area,
but there was no- an' what's gotta be... what arm got a concern abaht
is the fact that it's abaht time people recognise the fact that it's a
dialect that's spoken. It's not an infliction. We're not like inflicted
with summat that's, you know, we gotta apologise for. The area it was,
you know, for engineerin', was a creative centre o' the world for a time.
