God I went to Bursar and that bloke used to scare the excrement out of me. Was Miss Over there when you were. She was a fearsome old bint and used to hand out the violent beatings to unruly pupils.


Miss Over was a hard task master (mistress?!) but OK.

I wish I had a teacher like that when I was at school.

When I was there I remember Miss Over as being in her 20's with Dame Edna style glasses. I was never in her class.

Miss Barrett was the one who scared me most. She used to beat your knuckles with the sharp edge of a ruler. Mr Shorter had a cane and a slipper as I remember and used them regularly on people

Some great memories there. Nowhere else in the country uses the word 'clats' - I got so many funny looks in London when I used that word. Bezzin' - haven't heard that in yonks.


Those were the days, my friend,
We took the Stretford End,
We took the Kop, the Kippax and the Shed,
We lived the life we choose,
We'd fight, we'd never lose,
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days,
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, Town!

Although straying off the 'accent' topic, the above list is amusing - but a lot of these words are nationwide slang terms really.  And 'Chimley' is scouse i believe.

I am under the impression that a Crogger is a 'Pag' in GY / Clee, which is a rare difference between GY / Scunthorpe lingo i believe.

Back the accent - Cod-head folk sound a bit farm-yacker-ish.  For example Birdie becomes Bare-dy.  Definately vaguely mudrat-ish the Grimsby accent.

I disagree - if you were all as insular as that you might assume you'd invented the English language.

Nothing like some external sources for some accurate perspective.

In other words, don't beal about it.

It always surprises me how the three areas (Hull, Scunny, Grimsby) pronounce words like 'go', 'know' and 'show' so differently.  Hull's is pretty much unique, (kerka kerla, etc) Scunny's sounds very Yorkshire, Grimsby sounds more rounded, a bit like Liverpool really.

I was astonished by the accents when I first moved up here (as a small child) from Bournemouth.  Shouldn't have been really, as all my mum's family are geordies.
