yes

things like that you know

and apart from that you don't have any special hobbies or

no not unless we go to a dance occasionally

yes

that's all

and eh would you say that were any things that eh you would like to have done as it were but you've never got round to it or you've never had the chance to do you know

don't think so really (pause) although I think I would have liked to years ago to have learned a language of some sort you know but I don't think I would bother now

yeah (unclear)

yes I don't think I would bother now but I think that's about all I wish I had went into nursing mind when I first left school

yes

but with being the eldest in the family I went into a factory I wasn't told to go into a factory you know I just thought I would go into a fa but I wish I'd done that years ago now

eh what do you think you would do for instance if you won a a large sum of money tomorrow I mean a very large sum you know the pools or something

well I like going abroad (laughter) spend it on going abroad I think

yes

a nice long (pause) vacation

mm eh do you watch television very much

when I'm in we have w d we have the television on you know

yes

it doesn't re it doesn't particularly bother me whether it's on or off

yes

but eh it's always on because my husband likes watching it

mm yes eh what sort of programmes do you like any in particular

well I'm not fussy really anything I like a good film

yes

but my husband he watches anything

mm do you think that eh most of the programmes are good or

no I think they're rotten (laughter)

(laughter) what do you thi (interruption)

it's very very rare you get a good programme on I think

yes

on television

mm what do you think's the worst sort of rubbish you can get on television

wey all these plays all these sex plays and things I don't like them

but

I mean I don't mind I mean I could a good sex discussion I can listen to but these plays and things I don't like them

mm do you usually switch it off when you don't like what's on or is it normally left on

oh I just don't bother about it I just (pause) do something or just don't bother you know

yeah

see what's on the other side

mm ehm these are just a few questions about your ehm attitude to some ordinary things eh how do you think parents should eh treat their children when they misbehave themselves what's what's your policy on that sort of thing

well I don't know (pause) eh (pause) I don't really have any eh any opinion about that I don't think I mean everybody to their own

aye would you smack children like

well I never used to hit our (NAME)

no

used to of course mind I shout at her which is wrong I think a smack does them more good than the you know the shouting at them but I I've only ever I think I've only ever smacked her twice and she thought (pause) thought the world had come to an end (laughter)

(laughter) yes eh what about eh do you think that a young person of eh sixteen or so should be more or less allowed to do what they want or not

to a certain extent I think I think it depends what they want to do

mm

I don't know really eh you can you can advise them but will they don't always take notice of what you tell them

that's true yes

I mean you can try to help them but if they don't take your advice well can't do anything about it

yes so it's mainly a matter of advising rather than (interruption) telling them

than telling

yes eh eh this is a eh a question that you can answer if you want as it were don't answer it if you don't want to mm which way do you vote

vote well I I've al I've always voted Labour but now I don't vote for anybody

do you not

no not for the last couple of times I divn't think any of them does you any good

why is that do you not think there's any difference between them

I don't think there's any difference between the two of them

yes

so I didn't vote the last time (pause) (unclear) election

mm

got annoyed with them they promise you all sorts and you get nothing

mm-hm yes (laughter) eh (pause) do you ehm (pause) you've never actually sort of considered changing the way you vote I mean actually voting for somebody else is it more or less a traditional habit that you vote for that party

eh course my dad had always voted Labour you know I think when you're brought up that way you're

mm

I think I di I think I did once vote Conservative but they didn't do any good either (laughter)

(laughter)

so now I just eh don't bother at all

yes eh (pause) now you eh in fact do work yourself do you think it's eh a very good idea for the the woman of the house to work

you get more inde I think you have more independence if you work you know you have more interests outside I think when you're in the house all day you well you lose contact with people outside I think

is this mainly why you work in fact just because

yes my husband used to be on the long distance you know he was away such a lot and I thought oh I may as well work

yes

I only I only worked part time you see then I thought well I may as well do my training if I can as work as an auxiliary all my life

mm what does your hus (interruption)

that was really why I eh went out to work really

yes what does your husband do now by the way

he's a lorry driver

who for

well he works with a friend that lives on the front but they work for the national coal board you know

yes (pause) aye (pause) what do you think about eh equal pay for women

I never really thought much I think it depends on the job you do

yeah but equal work e equal pay for equal work

I think so

mm-hm ehm

but therefore you've got to take the same as the men haven't you I mean you can't just refuse to do the job when you're on equal pay you can't say well I'm not doing that job

mm yes eh now if we could eh if we could go on to what we are most interested in eh that's the way you talk and that sort of thing eh do you find that you ever change the way you talk you talk ehm according to the person you're talking to or other circumstances

I don't think so

do you not

I think I just speak the na the same as I always speak it doesn't matter who I speak to

yes this is in fact the same now you think (interruption) you're just speaking normal now

mm-hm mm-hm

yes ehm when you've never ehm you've never tried to make any permanent changes in the way you speak at school for instance did they when you were at school did they try to teach you to speak in a different way

well they I think they tried to teach you not to speak broad Tyneside you know which I I don't think I've ever really spoken broad Tyneside but I know I've got the accent

mm

but I don't I've never really spoke in (pause) broad Tyneside you know

mm yeah ehm (pause) how do you feel about local Tyneside accents do you like to hear people talking in a in a local accent

I don't know I don't ehm think I really like it when it's spoken (pause) you know when you hear people yelling in the streets

yes

you know saying all these Tyneside words I don't think so but I think ehm anybody who can speak it properly mind I think

mm what counts as properly (interruption) very sort of traditional (interruption)

(interruption) well I don't know (interruption) yes uh-huh

yes eh would you say that you feel ehm if somebody talks the same way as you that you would be more likely to get on with them mm

I don't know really I can get on with nearly anybody always have done

mm you don't feel closer to people who speak like (interruption) you

no

no ehm what about eh other local accents of England do you like to hear you know people talking in Cockney accents for instance or a Liverpool accent

I don't think so well I don't know I've never really thought about it you know I just take people as they are if that's the way they speak I just

yes you don't find it particularly pleasant or (interruption) unpleasant or anything

no no

eh what about eh you know the way the newsreaders speak on television when they're when they're reading the news do you ehm do you like that way of speech

oh yes uh-huh yes I like that

so in a way you you ehm react favourably to that whereas most accents you just don't really notice

mm-hm that's true

eh do you know anybody personally who talks like that or (unclear)

well I know people who try you know I think you can tell when it's put on though

uh-huh

but eh course when you work with people I mean people in a high position do talk like that you know

yes mm

they don't have as much accent I don't think

yes ehm so you feel that ehm y you can really tell something about eh a person's ehm status or position or something by the way they talk

I think so yes I think you can

yes I suppose the place you work though (unclear)

mm-hm

eh (pause) when you're ehm in other parts of the country on holiday can people normally tell that you come from Tyneside

well I remember when I used when I was working you know in a factory whenever you used to go anywhere on a trip people always knew you come from Gateshead you know (laughter)

yes from Gateshead

but I mean uh-huh but ehm I (unclear) to go to Scotland we go to Scotland quite a lot you know we have friends in Kelso

mm-hm

and of course I mean they know we now but when we used to go up they always used to know we came from this well Newcastle they think Newcastle you know

yes

they don't think of Gateshead

mm-hm yeah do you yourselves notice any difference between speakers from Newcastle and speakers from Gateshead

no not really

no

na (pause) just more or less the same I think

yeah eh do you think eh do you think it would be a good idea if everybody spoke in the same kind of accent or do you think anything would be missed by that

well I don't think anything would be missed really

no

I think it's up to people to speak the way they the way they want

mm you wouldn't sort of miss the variety of different

no

no ehm do you think eh can you normally understand people from other parts of the country when they talk in their local accent

yes very usually I can uh-huh yes

yes I think that's true a lot of people say you know that they can't understand a word Cockneys say (interruption) (unclear)

an odd an odd person I mean we've gone to Kelso let's say for about fourteen year and there's one person there I can hardly ever understand

yes

but the others I can you know

yes
