The Staffordshire dialect

On our next field trip to Caverswall we will be expected to talk to some local people and ask various questions about life in a village. Some of these people may have strong local accents which is common in the countryside. The following link is an interview with a local farmer Les Oakes who used to live very near to Caverswall (in Cheadle to be exact). He was a great collector and and created a massive collection of all kinds of memorabilia connected to Staffordshire. Here he is talking about his collection.

    Go to the above site and download the Activity book all about Farming.
    It explains:
    a) Where our food comes from.
    b) How farmers care for the environment.
    c) A year on a typical farm.
    d) Breeds of animals found on farms.
    e) Different careers in farming.

    Although it is aimed at school children, it will give you an insight into Farming in Britain with important facts and vocabulary. This should help you when you come to interview a farmer.
