I've been at university in Liverpool.0:18

I mean they have their own words for some things.0:42
Instead of food, they say scran.0:45
They don't say lots of, they say bags of.0:49
When I first went out with some friends from Liverpool, I needed a dictionary to understand what they were saying.0:52
But the grammar's the same, isn't it?0:57
Instead of we were playing, they might say we was playing.1:01
