Today would have been Terence Davies’s 80th birthday.

A bit of me still finds it hard to believe that he’s gone when he still had so much passion for films and for making them.

Anyone in London or within travelling distance - the current BFI retrospective season devoted to Terence and his work is fabulous.

It runs till the end of this month.

Everything from the extraordinary ‘trilogy’ to his most recent Siegfried Sassoon biopic. I’ve been to 4 films in the programme so far and they’ve all been wonderful.

These are films to see in the cinema.

I'm half Irish, half Welsh.

English is my mother tongue.

I went to university in Scotland.

SlenderWolf (6 novels) is set around the Irish Sea and stresses the importance and value of knowing English, Welsh, Irish, Manx.

And French.

And a bit of Scouse!

This is disgusting corporate bullying. Who the hell is going to confuse a local pet shop with a multinational overpriced clothes chain?

And 'boss' is as Scouse a word as you can get.

[12:33] Why Liverpool fans will become Arsenal supporters for one night only

Have you ever wondered how The Angel (North London Forever) sounds when sung in a Scouse accent?
