Thanks for you kind words, Rasa.
I suppose we're all familiar with it..."Telephone Voice Syndrome", whereby one speaks in a manner according to whoever one's "audience" might be: my Lancastrian sister, or Marcia Blaine of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie fame😊!
In the case of Nil Carborundum, (still a vivid memory) I was attempting to revert to the Lancashire accent I would have had at that time; that of the little boy who had never left his home town until he was 11 years old. After which, I picked up a Scottish accent, and then, on retiring, a southern French accent, after a couple of extended backpacking trips in France…a fact which my native French mature student examiner noted!
I still hear those broad Lancashire accents on a daily basis, and I’ve made an attempt to record some Lancashire dialect poetry for example, that of Edwin Waugh.

You read so beautifully Uilleam. Such a wonderful accent and speaking voice-you have- and you speak about such raw and important things. Thank you for doing this.

Dear, Uilleam Ó Ceallaigh! Thank you so much for the comment on my poem To Be Spoiled By Love Is Impossible. But! Would you be so kind as to correct it? You made a misprint. With warmest wishes, Latisa
