  ... a working-class tradition is an oral tradition, not a bookish one, but its richness of language comes from absorbing some of the classics in school - they all learned by rote - and by creatively using language to tell a good story. I think back and I realise that our stock of words was not small - and we loved images.

  Until the eighties, visual culture, TV culture, mass culture had not made much of an impact up north - there was still a strong local culture and a powerful dialect. I left in 1979, and it was not that much differen from 1959. By 1990 it was totally different.
