Do you know I had forgotten about the Forest's accent. I'd stay with my great aunt for some weeks in the summer holidays and be out every day playing. I would come home speaking in a most peculiar way - a mixture of broad Forest and Welsh! When we go visiting now that broad accent and way of speaking seems to have disappeared which is a shame.

Many thanks for your help - I was hoping to help the modern Peter but it seems he no longer comes on the forum.
