Talking Potteries

Do you know what words like 'Afe crine' and 'Stoon jed' mean? Pete, Kate and Sam from Endon High School wondered whether local dialect is dying out, so they went to investigate... Listen to their story here.

The local dialect is as much a part of Stoke on Trent as pottery and oatcakes, but is it in danger of dying out?

"It's more scarce than it used to be, because people are dying off"

How much is language recycled between generations? Pete, Kate and Sam wondered how people young and old would compare in making sense of phrases like 'Afe crine' and 'Stoon jed'...
