Subject: RE: Obit: Alan Smethurst, the Singing Postman (2000)
Much under rated for his dialect which was first class, Norfolk at it's best! I have met one or two people that resembled Alan Smethurst and spoke like him too. One thing that always amuses me about the Norfolk accent and speech is, what ever class of person or education most use the word Miss for Mrs and Bootiful for Beautiful- I just love to hear it.
