As part of Voices 2005, we've been out and about in West Yorkshire to capture the 'true' voice of the county - how we really speak in different places. There are LOADS of different accents and dialects even in cities, towns and villages just down the road from each other!
Castleford's been just one port of call. It's there that we caught up with Derrick, Andrew and Sophie Robinson - three generations of the same family.
"Your great grandad used to come from up the shaft into the workshops and if I'd got a spare ten minutes he used to get the old fire going in the blacksmith's fire and I used to watch him!"
Derrick Robinson
Derrick Robinson is 70 and at the age of about 30 went into the family business in Castleford. He had previously worked at the pit. The business has expanded over the years and he handed it over to his two sons when he retired five years ago.
His eldest son, Andrew, now heads the business which has grown from fruit and vegetable suppliers to wholesale and retail distributors of a range of products including fireworks and tropical plants.
Sophie, Andrew's daughter has benefitted from what is now quite a large business concern and is educated privately in West Yorkshire.
The Robinsons spoke to us about all sorts of things, but we've selected just a few short clips to give you a taster of HOW they speak:
