Longest, Largest Football Game Begins in England
The World Cup may only be a few months away, but for people living in Derbyshire the annual Shrovetide football game is far more important.
It is said to be the world's oldest, largest, longest and maddest football game.
The game is played between the Up'ards, those born north of the River Henmore which divides the town, and the Down'ards, those born south of the river.
Local man Stuart Lees was given the task of officially opening the game by throwing the ball into the crowd of hundreds of participants. Earlier he was chaperoned by a group of local fire service men and stalwarts who saw him safely through the town's streets.
Well it was unreal because we got the escort across the car park as you saw with the fire service lads and the older Shrovetide stalwarts, its just unreal, there's no words that could explain it, Lees said afterwards.
The game is played with a hand-painted, cork-filled ball. The pitch is a no-man's land between two watermills, Sturston Mill and Clifton Mill, which serve as the goals at either end of the town about three miles apart.
The Up'ards and the Down'ard's, there's goals 3 miles apart and hopefully it will go the right way and go down to Clifton, he added.
Any number may play providing they can claim to be Up'ards or Down'ard's. The game can last for up eight hours and rarely is there a goal scored. This is not surprising considering the size of the pitch and the number of players involved.
Shrovetide football has been played for centuries and possibly for over 1,000 years. The full history of the annual Shrovetide football game has long been lost in the midst's of time. The earliest surviving reference to the game was in 1683 when English poet and writer Charles Cotton, of 'The Complete Angler' fame, wrote about it.
The origins of the game maybe uncertain, but it is possible that in pre-Christian times men kicked around the head of an animal that had been slaughtered for a ritual sacrifice.
Before the end of the 18th century authority was trying to suppress the custom on the grounds that it was dangerous, disgraceful to humanity and civilisation, and destructive of moral. In most places authority won, but Ashbourne is one of the towns where the people were determined to keep up the old customs and successfully defeated all attempts to get it stopped.
Not many things have interrupted the Shrovetide game since 1891 and it continued through two world wars. Only foot-and-mouth disease has temporarily caused the cancellation of the game, in 1968 and 2002. However a limited version was played in 1968.
The game has little to do with normal football, for it has few rules - murder and manslaughter are barred though. It is a moving brawl which continues through the roads of the town, across fields and even along the bed of the local river.
The River Henmore is usually the centre of much of the play, which is very boisterous and can disturb local traffic and shop-keepers, who often board up their shop windows.
People following the game will witness scenes of heated action, but as one participant explains the whole thing looks more serious as it is.
The rivalry is always there, but its forgotten at the end of it, he said.
The game starts when the ball is throws up in the centre of the town. The majority of the play is a series of rugby-type scrimmages known as Hugs. Very occasionally the ball does break free, and onlookers who number in their hundreds can finally see some action.
Some even try to have a shot at the game, although, as one female bystander explains, this is not without risk.
Because they're big burley men, they are big rugby players, those that are really playing it and they've got tremendous strength, knock you to the ground if you're not careful.
If and when a goal is scored the scorer is allowed to keep the ball and drink as much ale as they can consume.
This year the Up'ards won the game on Tuesday 4th March. The only goal of the game was scored by scored local lad Dan Taylor.
Learn British accents and dialects – Cockney, RP, Northern, and more!
Did you know that there are over 30 different English accents in England alone? And that's not all. Would you believe there are over a hundred different English dialects accross the world? In this lesson, I will tell you about some common British accents you might hear. You'll hear examples of Cockney, RP, Estuary, Northern, Scottish, Welsh, and many more accents. Don't miss this opportunity to add some spice to your English pronunciation and comprehension! Take the quiz at
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Gill at engvid.com, and today's lesson is about accents in the U.K. So, U.K. accents and also dialects. Okay, so what's the difference between an accent and a dialect? Right. Well, an accent, as you know, is to do with pronunciation, how you pronounce the word. Dialect is when you have a word that only people in a certain area of the country use; it's not a national word, it's a local word that maybe people from other parts of the country, they won't even know what it means, so that's dialect. Okay. So, let's just have a look through some of the accents that we have in the U.K.
The one that you're probably learning as you're learning to pronounce English words is RP. RP stands for Received Pronunciation. It's a slightly strange term. Received where do you receive it from? Well, maybe you receive it from your teacher. This is how to say this word. It's a slightly strange expression, but RP, it's usually referred to by the initials. And it's the kind of accent you will hear if you're watching BBC Television programs or listening to BBC Radio. Not everybody on the BBC speaks with an RP accent. The news readers tend to be RP speakers, but not always. But the strange thing is that in this country, only a very small percentage of people do speak with this accent. Apparently, just 3%, but they tend to be people in positions of power, authority, responsibility. They probably earn a lot of money. They live in big houses. You know the idea. So, people like the Prime Minster, at the moment David Cameron, he went to a private school, he went to university, Oxford, so people who have been to Oxford and Cambridge Universities often speak in RP, even if they didn't speak in RP before they went to Oxford or Cambridge, they often change their accent while they are there because of the big influence of their surroundings and the people that they're meeting. So that's RP. It's a very clear accent. So, it's probably a good idea to either learn to speak English with an RP accent, or you may be learning with an American accent, a Canadian accent, all of those accents are very clear. Okay. And being clear is the most important thing.
Okay, so moving on. RP, as I should have said, is mostly in the south of the country; London and the south. So, also Cockney and Estuary English are in the south. Okay. So, Cockney is the local London accent, and it tends to spread further out to places like Kent, Essex, other places like that. Surrey. There's a newer version of Cockney called Estuary English. If you think an estuary is connected to a river, so the River Thames which flows across the country, goes quite a long way west. So anyone living along the estuary, near the river can possibly have this accent as well.
So, just to give you some examples, then, of the Cockney accent, there are different features. So, one example is the th sound, as you know to make a th sound, some of you may find it difficult anyway, the, when you put your tongue through your teeth, the, but a Cockney person may not use the the, they will use an f sound or a v sound instead, so the word think, I think, they would say would say instead of: think, they would say it like that: fink, fink, and the top teeth are on the bottom lip, think. And words like with that end with the th, instead of with, it will be wiv, wiv, wiv. Are you coming wiv me? So that is one of the things that happens with the Cockney accent.
Words like together would be togever. Okay? The number three, t-h-r-e-e is often pronounced free: We have free people coming to dinner. Free people. So, there can be confusion there, because we have the word free, which has a meaning in itself, free, but if you actually mean three, the number three, there can be some confusion. So don't get confused by free people. -Oh, they're free? They're free to come? -No, there are three of them. Three people who are free to come. Ah, okay.

Massive ABANDONED VICTORIAN MILL – Exploring Places UK
Built in the 1860’s this Massive Victorian Mill was originally a Cotton Mill and water powered using the Canal at the rear.
In the 1890’s it was converted into a Rubber Mill and then later to a Textile Mill.
The Large Chimney Stack is still present which reaches a height of approximately 200ft.
There are also some fantastic features to this place including Georgian Style Windows and Arched Ceilings where the Weaving Looms would have originally been.

Places to see in ( Sandbach - UK )
Places to see in ( Sandbach - UK )
Sandbach is a market town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. The civil parish contains four settlements; Sandbach itself, Elworth, Ettiley Heath and Wheelock.
Sandbach is perhaps best known as the original home of Foden and ERF lorries, though neither company now exists in the town, 12-times National Brass Band Championship winners Foden's Band, the ancient Saxon Sandbach Crosses, and Sandbach services on the M6 motorway.
The distance from London to Sandbach is 171 miles (275 km). The nearest large town is Crewe, which is 6 miles (10 km) to the south-west by road and can be reached either via the A534 Wheelock/Haslington bypass or via Winterley and Haslington. The nearest city is Stoke-on-Trent in the neighbouring county of Staffordshire, approximately 15 miles (24 km) away by road. The town is served by the M6 motorway, junction 17 and Sandbach Station on the Crewe to Manchester mainline.
The Sandbach Crosses are an important historical feature on the cobbled market square: the two Saxon crosses, reportedly built in the 7th, 8th or 9th century, constitute a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Sandbach is also home to many listed buildings, including Sandbach School, St Mary's Church and the Old Hall Hotel. Many of the local public houses, which were formerly stage coach stops, are listed, for example the Lower Chequer. Many of the buildings of the town were designed by the renowned architect Sir George Gilbert Scott; he designed Sandbach Literary Institution, Sandbach School, St John's, Sandbach Heath and the Almshouses. He also restored St Mary's Church. The town has Methodist, Baptist, Anglican and Catholic churches.
Sandbach is probably best known as the original home of both Foden and ERF lorries, both companies founded by members of the Foden family. Neither company now exists in Sandbach, having been taken over and production moved elsewhere. As of 2007 there is no trace of Fodens within Sandbach, with the former mansion home of the Foden family at Westfields being demolished to make way for a new council building. However, Foden's Brass Band, originally created for employees, is still based in Sandbach.
The town is served by Sandbach railway station, on the Crewe to Manchester Line, with services operated by Northern to and from as far north as Manchester Oxford Road although there is a branch line north of the station leading to Northwich which is mainly used by goods traffic and express passenger trains heading to Chester while the North Wales Coast Line is unavailable between the city and Crewe, although some organisations have been campaigning for a local passenger service between the two stations.
( Sandbach - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Sandbach . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Sandbach - UK
