It's a shame about the dialect dying out,and yes it would be nice to resurrect it,the only problem is with so many jobs being in Call centres, Media,Sales and Marketing etc, Kids have to talk reet proper England now!!

Do you actually have Call Centres there in Leeds? If I contact a Call Centre here from Sydney, I end up talking to someone in Mumbai or Bangalore. No Leeds accents there.
