LeMaquis   10 #101 Posted May 20, 2014 My paternal granddad was born in 1901 and spoke a different language to my dad, born 1929. He had a dialect that must have been a leftover from the Victorian age - duss see?, doings, machins, 'osses, etc. I doubt if many born after 1990 would have a clue hat he was on about.
