The Christmas Bus


2 comments:

  1. Powerful stuff. I was amazed to hear your voice - it's Welsh, but Scouse at the same time and your accent took me back to my childhood and the people around me on the streets of Liverpool - they must have been all Welsh. I applaud your way with words, and I am a bit of a fan of bus stories - thank you :)

  2. The kindest of compliments. I think NE Wales and Liverpool can meld into one accent with variations on a spectrum say from Denbigh right over to the fair city. The irony is, I was trying to do a Cardiff accent which as a port has the Irish as a backdrop accent. Any port city will perhaps have the 'side of the mouth speak', the dockers droll drawl. I am subconsciously drawn to the Scouse Identity but chuffed at your comment and glad that it took you back to the streets of Liverpool.
