He is right. I now live in Switzerland but am from the UK "up north" and Robbie is so right about the humour we have from up north... its just not comparable to anywhere else. I just love it....here I think folk think I'm nuts cos they don't always "get" the humour.

The north ends at the bottom of my drive and the proper north ends at the bushes at the back of my garden. Anyone south of my front gate is a pansy and anyone north of my back garden is just strange and lives in the middle of nowhere. I love the north which is exactly where I live and nowhere else, all the other towns in the north are pigsties and their football teams are rubbish.

Saying a little hello to me 2nd cousin Robbie, his mums sister was married to my dads brother, i grew up in London, but me dad was from stoke and we used to spend our school holidays at my grandparents in stoke, its nice to hear these stories, i took the musical path too, my dad was a piano playing preacher, so i guess we got the music in the family, uncle Don and Aunty jo and cousin jane were our favourite in laws, may have met Robbie when we were kids, it were a long time ago, love to have a chat with him one day, i thinka lot of our alternative thinking would align, anyway, many thanks for the clip, good luck.

As a scouser having worked in Stoke ...we are very similar in our crazy humour and we get on so well

Hey up duck. Cheers for the kind words about this little place, us stokies call home

The manufacturing might of stoke on Trent is sorely missed ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I don't know why but it warmed my heart a little to hear the Stokie accent in Robbie still :D I wonder how he feels now that Stoke has turned into an unrecognisable druggie landscape in the span of very few years?

First time I’ve ever heard Robbie do a proper Stokie accent, he also explains in this interview how he was abit more middle class than his other mates which probably explains as well why he doesn’t have a proper Stokie accent now, learn summat new every day 😎👍

You look so lovely rob😘💘💖😍💋❤️

Hi Shaun like always from Australia 🇦🇺🦘👍

The North is pretty much the same I grew up in Rotherham and it was no different nobody had two coins to rub together. But as a kid you make your own fun every days an adventure and life was good. Its not until you get older you start to see things through different eyes that was once not so apparent to you. Drugs, addiction, violence, sexual abuse. Poverty, etc etc. I loved my child hood but when i got to my late teens i hated the place so much i moved to Norfolk. That was 24 years ago and i have never looked back.

Spot on Robbie I know that teacher you speak of I'm a clay head lass duck much love ❤ you speak as it is so precisely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤xxx

I’m a stokie…. Let’s see what he has to say 😬 Edit; respect mama Williams. It’s honestly dead nice to hear about stoke, a place most people In the world are unaware of

I grew up in Stoke ( still here !) Robs dad was the compare at Perran Sands holiday camp in Cornwall where most of us council estate pit and pot kids went on holiday in the Potters holiday ( dad was a miner and mum worked on the pots ) Can’t remember seeing Robbie but I’m sure he’d have been there . All the kids used to knock around together in the arcades . I’m a bit older than Rob . My sister did snog him once in a nightclub in Stoke . That’s her claim to fame and still to this day says he must of lost her number 😂( land line of course !) Stoke is a great place to live and Rob is right about the humour but also the friendliness is top notch ! 😊
