Simon Roper | 1970s vs. 2020s Southeastern English Speech @simonroper9218 | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 22 hours ago.
In this video, I compare the speech of Margaret Wilkins (born c.1935) to my own (born c.1998), picking up on some aspects of 1970s speech which I'd say have become rarer, at least in this part of the country, since then. Mrs Wilkins was recorded as part of a 1974 television series called 'The Family', which sought to document ordinary working-class family life at the time in a naturalistic and socially realistic way.
