Today, at 61, I grew-up in the villages of Norfolk and among old characters like that, the accent brings back memories. I can distinctly recall one old guy I used to walk through the village to visit when I was around seven, that day he was milking a cow over a bucket while seated on his three legged stool... squirted me as I approached with a laugh and a grin.
Love the accent. Love my home county and miss it so much. I lapse into Suffolk more and more as I get older and I'm so pleased I do as it keeps me connected to home.
Come onnn towen!!!
love the accents. lovely old gentleman of character. they dont make them like he anymore sadly
I spent 10-years in the 80s visiting Norfolk farms. Brings back a lot of memories. A good ol' boy! Not many left now. Thank you for letting us see this.
Lovely. I am from East Anglia and my Dad is a farmer. I love the accent. Sadly dying out as my accent is not as strong as my dad's - unless I am drunk at which point it seems to get stronger ; )
Keep yew a troshern' bor.🔰💛💚😀👍
Aw he reminds me of my late father. Very similar voice - minus the whistle 😊
R.I.P Eric.

And this is the primary derivation of the NEW ENGLAND YANKEE ACCENT in the United States. Wonderful!
Hard times, having to eat Sparrows and Blackbirds.

Adorable man.
Sadly such Norfolk characters have nearly all but gone .. and taken the Norfolk rural way of life with them..
Had 1 in my little vilage harry hawlk we woukd call him and he would chase us pull our hair come after us with his gun lol chase us for miles like u wont get that today with kids n smart phone s but we would gwt old hazza to come after us tooled uo with his shooter back in late 80s 90 91 lol was wild times no cctv no cameras no cops
He sounds vaguely like an American from the South. Interesting.
I can see the similarities between the accent depicted here and the Tidewater accent of southeastern Virginis.
Why does it sound oddly 'Dixie'???
I knew West Country accents generally sound a lot like 'Dixie English', so what about these guys from the east?
West Country is 'rhotic' ( strong R ) and East Anglian is not. That is one difference. They are at opposite sides of the country also -but there is some similarities.
Any date for this film?
2009
EE see i and i see he up on worsle Blackbird tree.
We're losing this accent because of all the bloody Irish don't you see?
