    The only dialect word I remember from those days is tup - a noun and a verb.

    For a real idea of how men spoke the Calling Blighty series of films is a treasure. Check the posts on this site for links .Because they filmed men from all round the country you get a good spread of regional variation.

    That officer has a striking resemblance and some character mannerisms to Benny Hill.

    Fantastic bit of broadcasting RP invective shared by 38 (Irish) Brigade on Twatter.

    'Desario Birancati, Vice-Prefect of Catania, undergoes interrogation in the courtyard of a former Fascist HQ in Catania.'
