you know you know there's like seaf you know you get an impression of fishing by a river as being dead peaceful and sort of sitting there in the mountain going to sleep (laughter)

(laughter)

fishing (unclear) in the sea being all stormy and that (unclear)

then (unclear) cold and (laughter) must say it doesn't appeal to me (pause) eh what about eh the football do you watch do you go pretty regular like to watch the

yeah fairly skilful I suppose like (unclear)

yes aye yes (unclear) but then so is fishing really isn't it

oh fishing is aye

mm mm what ehm what sort of difference do you think it would make to you if you won ehm you know say if you won the pools tomorrow like if you won a a load of money tomorrow do you think it would make very much difference to your life you know

well I wouldn't work (interruption) my own house

would you not

my own stretch of river

yeah (laughter) (interruption) (unclear) (laughter)

in the country (pause) and stop there (laughter)

you don't think you would work like (interruption) I mean

I wouldn't work

you would be quite happy to (pause) fill your own (interruption) time in as it were yeah

aye

yet I suppose you're you're quite odd in that way are you because lots of people say they would (pause) you know they they would miss work if they had to stop you know (interruption) they wouldn't know what to do their time like (laughter)

(unclear) I wouldn't miss it (laughter)

(laughter) neither would I be yeah yeah do you think do you think it would change you know your (pause) your style of life very much like you know your ordinary

I divn't think so (pause) not now it couldn't

oh (pause) ehm (pause) do you watch television very much you know at night times and that

every night I (unclear)

do you mm is it usually (pause) sort of on all the time like (interruption) (unclear)

oh it's always on

yeah uh-huh what eh (pause) what sort of things do you like to watch on it particularly

films

yes (pause) what are the ones that you've seen before

oh westerns (pause) I like watching westerns you know

mm (pause) do you think the ehm (pause) the standard of programmes is very good like you know what I mean

no

mm (unclear)

don't think they're much cop at all

really (pause) ehm (pause) these are just eh just a few questions about your opinions on some ordinary matters like eh (pause) what do you think that ehm that parents should do when their children misbehave you know how do you think they should eh (pause) go about checking them

they should speak to them (pause) I divn't believe in hitting them

aye you'd never you'd never hit them

no

mm-hm (pause) be more a case of like (pause) telling them what was the matter

aye

mm mm what about ehm (pause) you know a young person of say sixteen or so do you think they should be (pause) more or less allowed to do as they want or not

wey to a sort of certain extent they could (pause) but not owt they want

mm yeah do you think you would want to sort of say what time they were to come in (unclear) a night time for instance

I used to get told but I divn't think it was right like

yeah

I'd just (unclear) (unclear) to come home

mm yeah mm eh mm going on to something different like this is a (pause) this is a question you don't have to answer if you don't want to answer it some people don't eh (pause) which way do you vote

Labour

yeah have you always voted the same (interruption) like

aye

yeah is it eh (pause) sort of i in your family like to vote that way you know (interruption) do you (unclear)

they've all voted Labour

aye

yeah

yeah mm do you think do you think that's the reason why you do I mean are are you fairly you know I mean do you do you believe in the Labour party like you know

I divn't believe in any of them (laughter)

(laughter)

I think the biggest liar'll get in like

yeah yeas it's (pause) you haven't got any like fairly strong (interruption) faith in in either lot (laughter)

no

(laughter) (unclear) do you think eh (pause) do you think that's do you think this is just sort of the fact that you're not really very interested in politics

no I've got no interest in politics at all

aye there there wouldn't be any party that (interruption) you would really be very committed to like (interruption) (unclear)

no

ehm (pause) ehm you know how ehm do you think that (pause) you know how a lot of people vote say the way their parents did or or they vote like Labour because they're working class or they vote Tory because they own their house and this sort of thing you know do you think that's like a reasonable way to vote you know or do you think there's there's anything wrong with that

oh I think it's up to the own people which way they want to vote

mm

I mean (unclear)

you ob you obviously don't think it's particularly important (interruption) anyway (unclear)

no

mm w do you eh (pause) do you usually sort of (pause) turn out to vote you know in every election mm (interruption) (unclear)

no sometimes I gan

sometimes go sometimes (interruption) (unclear)

I think I've been once

yeah yeah (pause) now eh (pause) if we could just go on to to talk for a bit about ehm (pause) the thing we're most interested in like you know that's (pause) the way you talk and that and what you think about it ehm (pause) firstly do you think that eh do you think you ever change the way you talk according to you know the person you're talking to or

no I've never changed I've always spoke the

yeah

doesn't matter who I'm talking to

yeah that's eh (pause) you mean (pause) both that you've talked the same ever since you were (interruption) young

(unclear) aye

and also that you always talk the same no matter how you

aye

no matter who you're talking to aye not even you don't you don't think you would change like when you're talking on the phone for instance or

I speak the same when I'm on the phone

same yeah

nobody knows what I'm saying (laughter)

(laughter) (pause) mm w when when eh (pause) when you were at school did did your teacher ever like used to you know tell you to change the way you talked (interruption) (unclear)

oh they used to try (pause) she did a lesson for it

did you

aye

yeah (pause) (interruption) course they never (laughter) never succeeded (laughter)

was no good like (laughter)

(laughter) it's the same old (unclear) eh (pause) so presumably the way you're talking now is (pause) exactly the same as the way you would talk when you're at work (interruption) for instance or

aye

aye (pause) mm eh (pause) do you ehm (pause) what sort of opinions do you have about people who talk in Tyneside you know I mean do you like to hear people (interruption) talk

oh I like hearing Tyneside (pause) aye

mm

but where you're brought up (pause) you've got no choice you got to speak it I cannot see nowt wrong with it myself

that's true yeah I mean that's great there's a lot of pressure on you to (interruption) to talk it like aye that's true yeah

aye

ehm and yet you'd never eh (pause) you'd never disapprove of anybody (pause) talking very broad Tyneside (interruption) for instance

no

mm okay ehm (pause) what about ehm (pause) you know other accents like you know ehm (unclear) say Cockney accents or Liverpool accents

I divn't like Cockney

yeah

Liverpool's (interruption) not bad like

so aye so there are yeah there are good ones and bad ones

oh there's good ones and bad ones

(unclear) yeah mm do do you think that ehm you know say if you if you meet somebody for the first time and he talks (pause) like you you know what I mean do you feel as if you're more likely to get on with them like you feel more more at home with them like (interruption) if they're the same (unclear)

aye somebody that speaks about the same aye

mm-hm mm-hm mm eh (pause) I think this is a an interesting question again ehm if you had a you know again if you had any children like do you think you would ever correct them about the way they talk

no

no no is it lots of people do in fact even though you know (interruption) even though you know they talk very broad themselves you know they still correct their children quite a lot mm (pause) eh (pause) you know ehm (pause) you know the way the newsreaders talk like (interruption) like when they're when they're reading the news out eh (pause) what do you how do you react to that sort of (pause) voice you know do you like that or

(interruption) oh aye (interruption) aye (pause) I think you know what they're saying like (laughter)

you you you know what they're saying

oh (unclear) what they're saying aye

yes (unclear) that's true and presumably everybody can understand it then

aye

aye eh (pause) do you eh (pause) do you think that (pause) mm (pause) well you obviously don't do you like you you don't think that that's a particularly proper way to talk like (interruption) I mean it's

no

mm

not to me it's not anyway (laughter)

aye yeah ehm (pause) do do you know anybody personally who talks like that you know can you think of anybody (pause) who talks very very (interruption) (unclear)

no

(unclear) (pause) they're not too common up here like

not up there they're not (laughter)

actually on Tyneside they're not that's true (pause) eh (pause) I mean i if you're do you think if you heard somebody talking like that in eh (pause) you know if you met somebody in in a pub or something who was talking like that do you think do you think you would find them (pause) very sort of posh and that you know (unclear)

well aye it's the impression I get like

aye mm ehm (pause) this eh this might strike you as a rather vague sort of question like but eh (pause) what sort of things do you think you can tell about somebody from the way he talks you know just by listening to his pronunciation and that like

tell whether he's stuck up or not

aye yes yeah do you think do you think you could have a guess at (pause) well say what sort of job he did for instance mm

no I couldn't

no you wouldn't like to guess the difference (interruption) between somebody who worked in a factory and somebody who worked in an office (interruption)

(interruption) no (interruption) no

no oh (pause) perhaps (pause) mm (pause) do you know very many people who work in offices

at wor's at wor's I do but they usually all talk about the same as we

talk the same as you you reckon

they're all the the young kids I know like you know

ah (pause) yes that's (interruption) aye

(unclear)

I know what you mean like (unclear) yeah there's quite a lot of lot of ehm yeah mm eh (pause) what ehm (pause) how do you react to the way I'm talking now you know what do you think of it

oh there's nowt wrong with it (laughter)

(laughter)

I know (laughter) yeah I mean would you say would you say that I talk more or less like you

aye some words are

yeah (laughter) yes but it's (pause) yeah but it is a bit different (interruption) I take it yeah

aye

I mean would you would you like would you sort of (pause) be willing to guess anything about the sort of work that I do you know (unclear)

(unclear)

do you think I could do you think that I could work in a factory with a

oh aye

with a voice like that yeah

our young one's mates talks something like you

eh

do you reckon oh

and he was from Newcastle somewhere him

mm yeah yeah oh I I I'm very complimented to hear that you see (laughter) quite sometimes I hear people telling us that they don't think I come from Tyneside at all and this sort of thing that always that always worries me
