	When I wor yung ah ad a mini as'd need connectin to Inckley
	Point power station b'fore eet'd start and then eet'd only
	go ont' three cylinders.

	T'gear lever were six foot long if it were an inch, and yous
	needed arms leek a'grilla to reach third, not thart eet'd air
	gay faist enuff to't need third anysways. Mind thee it were
	betterun some as ad oles in't floor so's you could brake wi't
	ure foot. Ah once saw a lad wi a piece o'string as ee used
	leek rains fur t'steering, now thart really were moterin.

	Still them's wer grand days I'll tellee, kids today don't know

	Well, I'm glad to say I'm not a regionalist. They're all just people, even if they do talk funny. I don't notice the tone of people's accents. Unless they come from Birmingham. Jeff. :-)
