I don't think he's from round these parts.

Nah its bait time, busy machining chips :-)

Talking of which, do you know how much trouble you can cause in the John Lewis kitchen department just by asking to view the latest Harrison potato peeler.

 

[ChrisJ]

That one is well below the belt

Aha!! the man himself, great videos John, I enjoy each and every one, keep em coming, you swear with such conviction, it is quite refreshing

 

[Badbusboy]

Doubleboost is very well known here chrisj, and some people are teasing him!

 

[colnerov]

It's a gift.

Not just any chips.......


...... 37/64" chips, he's probably got the blue'd up on the surface plate scraping them square and true

 

[eSCHEn]

Oh you'll definitely get something from him, I'm sure

I've heard he's dab hand in the kitchen as well as on the lathe!

I happened to be watching one of AvE's video's yesterday, he was singing our very own @doubleboost praises and suggested watching him.

 

[rtcosic]

He's not a Geordie, he's a Mackam

Now I know why I can't understand him.

Those softies from south of the Tyne are getting everywhere these days.

(I know my tag suggests Pembrokeshire, but I'm a good Ashington lad. The real one in Northumberland, not that imitation one in Sussex.)

Do you often get that feeling everyone else in the room knows something you don't?

Don't worry, it's not paranoia - it's just a glitch in the Matrix.

@rtcosic
So you are basically saying he comes from North of the Watford Gap?

That would explain 99% of this.

What's a Watford? What part of its anatomy has a Gap?

Will it still exist post Brexit? Is it another glitch in the Matrix?

Back in the day I could tell from their accent if some-one came from the Hirst end of Ashington or the Ashington end. Newbiggin, the next nearest town - less than 2 miles away - had a 'completely' different accent to our ears. Folks from 'over the water' (River Wansbeck), in places like Bedlington and Stakeford spoke a different language. We all went to the same school.

These days accents seem to be merging into a generic mush of dropped endings, glottal stops, 'likes', 'you knows' - or I'm I just turning into a grumpy old fart? More likely I just don't hear the differences in accents I'm not familiar with. Locals here claim they still know if someone comes from Milford Haven or Haverfordwest.

Answers on a postcard please to prevent further thread digression.

Doubleboost's videos are indeed great - except the culinary ones. Using YouTube auto subtitles is a hoot.

 

[addjunkie]

Go north a mere few miles from ashington and they roll their Rs more....but loss of local accents is due to breeding, as people move in larger circles, now car and busses allow you to move further with easy you interact with a wider civle and are influenced by that.

I dont think mt Doubleboost is that broad, id say hes a posh geordie!

Well he must be he has electrically powered kitchen appliances.

All joking aside, when I was working abroad Mr @doubleboost 's weekly adventures did a lot to keep me sane!
