Do your council do over 50s or over 55s bungalows?

Funny you should mention nasty pasties. We used to be so hungry after a hard morning's work that we used to enjoy those. They were made by a company called Robirch and by some amazing coincidence we used to call them nasty pasties just like you do several decades later, as if by telepathy. As time went by we took to just calling them "nasties." Everybody knew what we meant though.

Near to me in Leicester is a shop with a sign in the window that says "Pukka Pies." I always pronounce it "puker." :eew:

I still don't know how it's supposed to pronounced.

Cue for Beach Boys record.......

Actually I'm a bit of a stick-at-home, but I keep jetting between Leicester UK and Mountain View Arkansas, so everybody thinks I have a really exciting life. Truth is, once I get to one or other of those 2 places I just bum about indoors most of the time. And the only exciting thing about the flight is the abject fear that it's going to go horribly wrong, which it usually does.

Is there even a Leicester accent these day given the number of ethnic minorities living in the area?

Yes there is a Leicester accent. A lot of the immigrants' kids pick it up as well as the indigenous folks. They pronounce the word Leicester as "leicestoh." But as I have a strong character I've still got my Yorkshire accent. Even all this time in Arkansas hasn't changed that. You can take the man out of Yorkshire but you can't take Yorkshire out of the man.

Actually there's a little bit of Liverpool mixed in with it. I've only been there briefly to get to the Isle of Man. I picked it up from the Beatles. I was obsessed with them when I was in my formative years, and wanted to do everything they did. But I matured a bit and sank back into more or less unadulterated Yorkshire, by gum.

I do occasionally tack "bonny lad / bonny lass" onto the end of sentences. That's Geordie. Don't know how that got there. It's an honorific.
