SO, Miss, Ms, or Mrs Sloan, with regard to your article (August 28), are you ashamed of your accent?
Have you never watched EastEnders, Minder (Cor Arfur, vat don't 'alf pen and ink), Birds ov a Fevver, and the lovely Denise Van Outen's Essex twang?
Every part of the country has its dialects and accents. What about Brendan Foster commentating in the Olympics?
It's very unusual today to hear real Lanky spoken, because Bolton is a cosmopolitan town.
So forget your "Aye up lad" attitude. And, by the way, are you not proud that Wallace and Gromit were created in Lancashire?
