Yeah classic accent , unique .But with the ingress of outsiders slowly dying out .Like most places in the U.K. local dialects are slowly being replaced by a neutral accent . Take Devon for example , i travel there a lot but only on the odd occasion do you here a true Devon accent .Ive got a broad Gloucestershire, one As im older and lived here all my life .
My grandfather was in the mines at 13 I don’t remember which one he was in, but my grandfathers brother Joseph Jayne was in the mines all his life and died of black lung.
My family is from the Forest of Dean love the dialect my Grandparent spoke it all the time
