Aye your right marra. He lasted longer and I'm thankful for that. It's effing shìte whenever it comes but the longer the better as long as there's no suffering. We've all been through it or have it to come. We just have to carry on and focus on who's left.
Mrs Draig is a mackem and I met her when I was up at Sunderland Poly and I always teased her that her accent wasn't the same as her uncles, cousins, cleaners and catering staff at the poly. When I really want to wind her up I just call her a posh geordie
I often get called a cockney ****er because of my I accent. I always put people right by telling them I'm not a cockney
Sincere condolences to you and your family Nig. RIP your Dad. Keep your chin up mate, it will get easier...
