    never met him so don't know about his personality, but I certainly agree with MPM about his poetry. Terrible from what I've heard.

    i like Ian McMillan but his "professional" Barnsley accent grates for me.

    This is how I see it.....</p><h1><font size="2">Abridged from Billy Liar</font></h1>

    Billy talks to Councillor Duxbury...</p><div id="contentwrapperinner"><div class="content">

    'So tha's going to London, is ta?' he said with mild interest, as though the subject of the calendars had been settled entirely to his satisfaction.

    Hopefully, I said: 'Aye, ah'm just about thraiped wi' Stadhoughton'. I remembered too late that 'thraiped' was a word Arthur and I had made up.

    'How does ta mean?'

    'It's neither muckling nor mickling,' I said, using another invented phrase in my complete panic.


    'Is ta taking a rise out o' me, young man?'

    I felt myself flushing, and found my whole personality shifting into the familiar position of sheepishness and guilt.

    'No, of course not'.

    'Well just talk as thi mother and father brought thee up to talk, then. Ah've had no education, ah had to educate myself,
    </p>

    but that's no reason for thee to copy t' way I talk.'</p>Does he talk as rough as he makes out on the Telly?

    </div></div><font color="#0000cc" />

    Thast cos he not from Barnsley, he is from Darfield

    All the different parts of the Barnsley Borough have slight variations on the dialect.
    Dodworth has almost a different language .

    well he's on tv and radio, so attention comes with it. Very genuine bloke though and not stuck up his own arse about his importance. His poetry, like all poetry is down to taste. I quite like some of it, don't like other stuff.
