Anyone can spot an Irishman
or a Yorkshireman by his brogue...
:09:09

I can place 'im within two miles in London.
Sometimes within two streets.
:09:15
Ought to be ashamed of 'imself,
unmanly coward.
:09:17
- Is there a living in that?
- Oh, yes.
:09:19
Let him mind his own business
and leave a poor girl alone.
:09:23
Cease this detestable
boohooing instantly...
:09:25
...or else seek the shelter
of some other place of worship!
:09:29
I have a right to be here if I like,
same as you!
:09:32
A woman who utters such disgusting,
depressing noises...
:09:35
...has no right to be anywhere,
no right to live.

:09:39
...and the divine gift of articulate speech.
:09:42
Your native language is the language
of Shakespeare and...
:09:45
...Milton and the Bible. Don't sit there
crooning like a bilious pigeon.

## Look at her, a prisoner of the gutters #
:09:54
# Condemned by every syllable she utters #
:09:57
# By right she should be taken out and hung #
:10:00
# For the cold-blooded murder
of the English tongue #
:10:05
Heavens, what a sound!
:10:07
# This is what the British population #
:10:10
# Calls an elementary education #
:10:12

Dropping H's everywhere #
:10:21
# Speaking English any way they like #

:10:26
# What ya tike me for, a fool? #
:10:27
# No one taught him 'take' instead of 'tike' #
:10:31
# Hear a Yorkshireman, or worse
Hear a Cornishman converse #
:10:35
# I'd rather hear a choir singing flat #
:10:38
# Chickens cackling in a barn
Just like this one #
:10:41
# Garn! #
:10:43
# Garn! #
:10:45
# I ask you, sir, what sort of word is that? #
:10:48
# It's 'aoow' and 'garn'
that keep her in her place #
:10:51
# Not her wretched clothes and dirty face #
:10:55
# Why can't the English
teach their children how to speak? #
:10:58
# This verbal class distinction
by now should be antique #
