Coming from Whitchurch I often noticed we used words from the east and west of the county, but still a lot of words on here I'v never heard. Guess most are from the south as any where south of Salop was like a different country to us. My family are from Wellington/Dawley and from Shrewsbury so a real mix and I still get strange looks when I'v had a few and drop back in to Shrop talk. Accent seams to change and grow stronger depending if I'm up here in Crewe or Back home in Salop, Although I never thought we had an accent compared to Oswestry,Wem, Shrewsbury, etc or Telford on the other side.

I used to play football for Donnington Wood FC back in the 70's in the West Mid league To the locals in this area of Telford, Donnington was always known as Donnitun and Wrockwardine Wood (next door) was known as Rockardeen Wood I played with a guy at Donnitun who had a very broad Dawley accent, and once when i criticised him, for not making a tackle he resonded with "theest play thee own game owd jockey"!! Nuff said really I used to play against the Wood in the 70's, and a cracking side they were to. But that was before they joined the West Mid League and played in the County League which was a proper County League ( not like today) with teams such as Blue Triangle, Ludlow, Wrockwardine Wood, Snailbeach etc.

Always understood bist came from the old Elizabethan word be'est but maybe that's linked to the German anyway. Who knows? In the same way Surry - common down in the Shropshire hill country and just meaning mate or pal - could come from Sirrah.

Correct, but as its to do with Telford, all normal rules of engagement do not apply. Being a Shrewsbury fan, take every opportunity you can to have a dig at AFC Tinpot, and if there is nothing going on that you can use against them, make something up. Simples.
