Bobby Thompson a brilliant local comedian born in Penshaw Village a mining community in Sunderland who gained thousands of fans around the whole of the North East area. As good as Bobby was he could never have gone any further than the North East with his act as with his very strong and local dialect and his use of some very old pitmatic words even a few locals had difficulty understanding him , he told it how it was in the so called good old days of poor pay, mass unemployment and poverty. I loved his homemade stories of meeting Neville Chamberlain in the fish shop and Bobby speaking to HER MAJ Liz on the phone and her telling him that Phillip had gone to the beach on his bike looking for Coal and that she would have to ring orf cause she had a Pan of Chips on For When Phillip Get's Back. Absolute Magic.
Mackem or Geordie he was still the vest of his time and still lives on in his videos and records. His act was always the same but this Sunderland Empire wppearance had some extra funny stories. Shame it didn’t last all night though.
Another hilarious thing to note, is that thses sort of videos, (From the north east of England!)... Have very little comments or views, because Americans can't see past Benny Hill or Monty Pie.... Thornnn.!
Glad I found this. Tears of laughter. This is very much "of it`s time and place" but no less funny for it. Good material and delivery transcends everything else.

Americans should learn how to spell the English language correctly before they make derogatory comments about accents.
