Traditional Dialect of Gloucestershire
The Gloucestershire dialect had all the features of West Country English except that in a few words it showed the Midland / Northern feature of the "u" as in "full" where southern and south-western English used the "u" as in southern "fun". An example was Gloucestershire "thunder " which was "thunnder " in the dialects further south.
