Rodney started off by comparing various Yorkshire words with their Lancashire equivalent such as Snicket in Yorkshire and Ginnel in Lancashire or a Mash of tea as opposed to a Brew in Lancashire.
He then went on to explain some items that had confused him when first emigrating to Gods own country: -
Having a cake with fish & chips
The pronunciation of Slaithwaite - "Sloughit"
I'll bray thee - I will give you a good thumping
He then recited a couple of Edgar Marriott monologues as performed by Stanley Holloway - "The Jubilee Sovereign" and "The Lion and Albert"
He finished off with a few Lancashire jokes.
