Every production I've ever seen featuring Suffolk or Norfolk accents portray it as a West Country accent - good to know they got it right this time. With you entirely. And the Suffolk guy who did the speech coaching said it always sounded ‘West of Swindon, with a touch of Long John Silver’! I love the way local accents merge and slowly change on the Norfolk borders with Suffolk and Lincolnshire, and the Suffolk border with Essex. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think so, but it probably won’t take long. This, for us, was a rare chance to get some value out of the shared Netflix subscription. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an almost impossible accent to master - I've lived here for 48 years and still can't do it. The daughters were all born here, and they can't do it either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purplesea Posted January 30, 2021 #14711 Share Posted January 30, 2021 With regards accents we used to live in the north London area and moved down here. My youngest daughter, was born down here, so when she started school and was learning to read would read with a Cornish accent as her teacher was Cornish therefore my daughter would read with her teacher's but speak like we do. It was funny to hear! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, a charming film - thoroughly enjoyed it, and Ralph Fiennes was utterly believable. His accent training paid off too - spot on. Best Suffolk accent I’ve ever heard from an actor! Harry I’ve just seen The Dig. I really enjoyed it, definitely worth watching 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could easily be Stacey Dooley because she seems to be in everything else at the moment. Can’t understand why but I am sure many have a different opinion. I was only watching it for a friend - certainly not for myself. 🥴 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to visit my aunty in Blyth and as a treat my uncle would take me for a ride on the chain ferry across to Cambois which sounds pretty much as if it should be in France to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowzz Posted January 31, 2021 #14723 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Keeping on the Netflix theme, can I recommend the film "White Tiger" based on the novel by Aravind Adiga. Not as good as the novel (which is normally the case), but still a good " watch", showing how the "new" India lives and develops alongside the traditional Indian culture, and the tensions that this causes. The film is more fun than my description! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapau27 Posted January 31, 2021 #14724 Share Posted January 31, 2021 -1°C this morning. There is a thin covering of snow on the ground but the sky is mostly clear of clouds. I am going to clear the car windscreen then get ready for church. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalos Posted January 31, 2021 #14725 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Today is a year on from when the NHS took up the battle against covid in a hospital in Newcastle . Little did we know how much it would change our lives and the death and misery it would cause but lucky for us we have the best medical team in the NHS and researchers looking out for us ,so thank you for being there for us . Lets spare a thought for those who passed away to this virus . Please Stay safe . 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
