"Ipswich?... Well 'as olus bin there!" Best line in the video 😂 I'd never made the connection with the Aussie and New England accents although I was mistaken for an Aussie when I was in Scotland once. Great video
Well presented and all the history of Suffolk 😊👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 I was born in 1958 in Sudbury….still today…I like to visit the countryside in Suffolk, I live in Switzerland…beautifully country….despite that…I like once every year to visit Suffolk and Norfolk 😄🇬🇧
from The Midlands, when I first moved to suffolk I found it too slow...now I embrace it, stunning coast, countryside and I love ipswich. Great work 🙌 will check out part 2.
@@cuttsprojects2903 No need to apologise mate, it was a really insightful video which I thoroughly enjoyed. And plus I swap my cockney accent for your accent anyday haha at least you sound educated. I have a few pals in Suffolk that are the same age as me 21-25 and none of them have the suffolk accent. It's such a shame because it's such a unique accent and like you said, it sounds very much australian.
As an Aussie I never really knew where our accent came from and the first hint I got was when watching a documentary on a guy restoring old warbird engines. He lived in East Anglia(just down the road from you guys?) At first I thought he might be an expat Aussie but when I googled RU-vid for videos on East Anglia it kept throwing up a lot of Suffolk videos. After watching them I knew there was a connection. But yours was the first one to actually claim a connection to the Aussie accent. It is, however, normal Aussie. Not sure of the origins of Ocker. Yanks tend to use a Cockney twang when emulating it but that definitely ain’t it!
I live in Suffolk. If you spit hard with a following, you hit Norfolk. My parents were from Norfolk and I was born there. My big sister lives in Norwich. My late dad used to say that the purpose of Suffolk was to stop Norfolk fraying at the edges!
My 23andMe says I've got ancestors who came from far across the sea in East Anglia, so it was pretty interesting having this introduction to the area's history. Maybe, someday I'll find my distant relatives from the area! lol
? You purport to document Suffolk.....but you omit Lowestoft, the second largest town in the county? Ignoring its' maritime heritage and industrial history? Er......
9s the open air swimming pool still there ,just off thr norwich road ,well it was in 1948 when i was a kid having my hols at my aunt's placein Richmond road
Charming video. I have been studying Suffolk since I learned that my ancestors came from Ramsholt and Saxmundham and Rendham. Somehow you have captured just the Suffolk smile that I pictured. Love the interview with the man who knows all about Suffolk. Very similar to the humor in Maine where I live.
You or in Texan Y'all did an outstanding job on this video!!!! My wife and I love Suffolk County especially Eye where my Dad flew out of during the War.
As an Aussie the most telling phrase was uttered by Peter Cutts, right at the end when he said, 'right mate' as shook your hand. Sounded pretty familiar to me 👍 mate.
loved this video!! i live in suffolk and have only ever been to bury, stowmarket and ipswich maybe one or two times. your suffolk is a very different one to mine but its fascinating to see the differences. its such a big county and feel like i dont live in the same places as these!!! im right on the border of south cambridgeshire and north essex so it doesnt feel like suffolk much at all
That was an excellent story about Suffolf. The guest you interviewed is someone I would have so many questions, my dad was born in Beccles Suffolk in 1921 he left to sussex before world War 2. Would love to find out about his birth place somehow. Im in America, too far to have a weekend in Suff, thank you.
