Description
Brian Hartshorne, a butcher recorded in Wolverhampton [continued from tapes LAVC/SRE/A716r and LAVC/SRE/A717r]; talks about butchers' back slang (for animal names/meat cuts and other terms); explains its use, the contexts in which it would be used and the incorporation of some Cockney rhyming slang terms; back slang examples given for prices, beef cuts, money and amounts, lamb meat and cuts; [last five minutes inaudible due to dry tape squeal].
Brian Hartshorne continues with examples of back slang applied to people's titles (manager, boss, master). [A fragment only of Track Two is audible. Dry tape squeal prevents any further playback/listening.]
