I've never heard anyone sound the "t" in listen, but perhaps there are some dialects where this happens.

I'll remember them going forward.

Have you started saying "going forward" when you mean "in the future", Bev? Or are you just unfashionable, like me?

The big giveaway about whether an accent is Lancs or Yorks is that in the former an 'r' in the middle of a word (burn, person, etc) is sounded, but not in Yorks. Here's an learned account of what's happening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhoticity_in_English In this respect Lancs speech has more in common with that of of the US than with Yorks!

Oh, that French trad sound! My introduction to jazz was as follows. In 1957 when I was 17 an older school friend (who must have been all of 18!) criticized me for wasting my time listening to rock 'n roll and handed an E.P. to me. It was Sidney Bechet with Claude Luter's band. I still remember some of the French titles: "Le marchand de poissons" and "Les oignons".

Joe Temperley John Barry Sax Rohmer

"Centuries old building" and pretty old as a jazz club, too! I saw Ted Curson play there in 1964.

Yes, very slight - a feeling I also often have about Ian McEwan's prize-wnning efforts.

There's also the Yorkshire use of "while" to mean "until", as in "We're staying here while Friday". It is said that a fatal accident occurred on an East Yorkshire level crossing when a motorist drove onto the track after misinterpreting a sign that said "Do not pass this point while red light shows."

Highly popular fiction in the UK nowadays, less so with me. Readable all the same. Highly popular fiction in the UK nowadays, less so with me. Readable all the same. Aaargh! The Curse of the Double Post strikes again!

As mjzee says, it's a regional thing - in the UK as well. I think it's of-ten in Scotland and offen in the south of England. Issues of correct or incorrect don't arise.
