My name is Adrian and I am from Newcastle Under Lyme in the United Kingdom. Newcastle Under Lyme is located in the North Midlands in North Staffordshire. Some people get the area mixed up with Newcastle which is in the North East of the country. That Newcastle is called Newcastle Upon Tyne and is different in every way and is a city. Newcastle Under Lyme where I am from is a small town. Next to us
is Stoke On Trent and people get confused thinking we are part of Stoke On Trent. The six towns of Stoke On Trent are Burslem, Tunstall, Fenton, Hanley, Longton, and Stoke after they were unified in 1910. Me being born and bred in Newcastle Under Lyme will speak the same as those in those in the other towns and it’s called Potteries dialect so we use words like cosner, shonner, cos, cost, dunner, wastner, wunner, and wust. You can hear it being spoken on youtube in a video called May un mar lady. You will hear me using it when talking in my created videos. I do try to speak clearly most of the time but I know some of you outside of the Potteries area and the United Kingdom will get confused with some of the words. There are some people who live in the potteries area who are older than me born before the 1950s and 1940s and will speak with an even stronger accent and dialect which can be harder to understand at times even for me. I do not speak with all that modern text talk like Lol and wtf so do not understand that like the younger generations born after the year 2000 who are brought up with smartphones, tablets, and computers.
