black country variation
As an experienced actor the Chairman uses his Black County accent. A quick glance at the local guidelines tells us “Y’all may only boffle a player if they’re deliberately goin’ roond the Wrekin. If y’all slummock a fo’wer a looped diagonal, y’all have it dark and y’all man travel back’ards down on all buz-routes. All roight a bit? No scragging, no clarting about, lus’ one home’s a gawpy.”
