It is very important to document these wonderful "Country" folk. Their stories will not be told again, and equally their accents will fade into the distant past. Thank you Mr Trotty57
6:55 Even this American living in California instantly recognized and knows who Roger is. :) Met the fellow and drank his cider 4 years ago when back for a visit. ( My wife is from Somerset, so I'm not unfamiliar with the West Country). Great videos!
It would be great if you could fix the closed captioning for this. I can 90% understand them but if I was relying on the CC I wouldn't understand half of it.
That far back, I expect people sounded a bit different. If you search RU-vid there's a video titled 'old Devon accent', uploaded a few years ago - the video image is a UK map with Devon in red. The voice was recorded in 1958, from someone that growed up in the late 1800s, not too far from Honiton, so that'll give you some idea. It's similar to Devon accents from more recent times, but there are lots of noticeable differences even since then
