I only ever hear it if I'm in the Falcon having a coffee during the day, the olduns chatting and moaning like proper Wycombers do, most of my lot are gone now, miss being called "boy" , usually attached to end of most sentences.

@@lilbratleah A ya bein B? You can still hear proper Wycombe in The Falcon? You amaze me! Last time I was in Wycombe I don't recall hearing anyone speaking English, let alone with a Wycombe accent. It's just about clinging on in certain pubs in Downley, Naphill and West Wycombe.

@@ullscarf yeh I know what you mean, quite a few of my older family members came from the outlying villages and some are still there in Naphill and Lane End , agreed you'd have to go out of Wycombe to hear any proper Bucks , all the Uni kids typically sound pretty generic , like yeh like, like like OMG 😆😆

Walking down to the Rye myself with a model sailing boat under my arm and 2 mates in tow an old lady leans over her gate and says. " Be you boys a boatin of" this was in 1949, have always remember that lovely observation and statement in her Wycombe accent, magic.

There’s still the Royal Grammar School

That's a shame Chris. I was born here in 67. Shrubbery Road. I loved Wycombe up until about the 90s. Mum and dad moved to Tylers Green in 1959. Like you, but in my case I only visit for the bank and now I've gone online for that. Happy memories of the shops there in 70s and 80s.

Great memories of Murrays! With the moving clock and Father Christmas 😊

Oh! How I remember the runaway vehicles down Amersham hill. There was a tar tanker laden with hot tar that ran away and overturned on the X- roads. The tar spilled out al over the road and pavement, people were treading some of it into the shops, what a mess. Then another day I was walking over the railway bridge on the station side of the road, when a small sports car came down Amersham Hill out of control, horn blearing, on the wrong side of the road. The pavement was quite narrow there, it just missed me, continued down the hill, and hit another vehicle outside The Flint Cottage pub. The driver got out, he was covered in broken eggs, the back of the car had been stacked with trays of eggs ! Another right mess. Both of those probably in the 50s, well before the escape lane was built.

The accent you hear there is urban Wycombe. The farmers had a different accent and even Downley was different to Wycombe - more rural Bucks.

Hey Mate, if you type the address into google, you can see the house is still there (on the corner of Priory Rd and Benjamin Rd).

There’s still the Royal Grammar School. Been there for 108 years now, same building

And flatpack furniture.

mainly mass immigration

Michael George I hated seeing my home town get turned to shit. I moved to Arizona where I’m blissfully happy. 😄

I moved away in 1966 to the west country just as the world leaders decided that we must accept diversity to all and become third world citizens. It's a bit slower down here so I have about another 10 years left but I do worry about my children, grand children and great grand children in the melting pot.

That last sentance would have been much better if it ended after the word planners.
