Attractions and Locations
Swadlincorte contains a moderately sized town centre, typical of those in the midlands, containing both national brands such as Woolworths, and small local businesses. The area contains most of the shops needed for everyday life and essentials, although there are few facilities for extensive shopping. For this most occupants travel to Burton, which like Swadlincote is easily reached using the local bus service. The bus companies are Arriva Midlands and Midland Classic. Swadlincote contains a large proportion of shops selling cards in relation to its size; this is often the subject of in-jokes amongst the residents. Morrisons open a store in the town in October 2006 which is stage 1 of a facelift of this town. The store is located on Coppice Side road in the town. Plans are now afoot for the development of a retail complex consisting of a cinema, DIY store and a nationally recognised clothing stores, such as Next.

Accent and dialect Although Swadlincote lies in the Midlands, the Brummie accent is not prevalent in the area. Some traits of the Birmingham accent are present, such as the comparatively slow flow of words: sustained vowels are a particular feature. It could be said, however, that due to the trend of urban depopulation and Swadlincote's proximity to Birmingham via the M42 motorway, that the Brummie accent is spreading out of the city. Brummie (sometimes Brummy) is a colloquial term for the inhabitants, accent and dialect of Birmingham, England, as well as being a general adjective used to denote a connection with the city, locally called Brum. ...

The accent, rather like that of Burton upon Trent, is more akin to that of the nearby city of Derby, however and the terms of endearment 'Duck', and 'Me Duck' are in common use in the Swadlincote area, as they are throughout some parts Derbyshire and much of South Staffordshire. Presumably it was initially the miners who used the term in this particular context. For example, an inhabitant enquiring about your well-being may ask "How are you, (me) duck?". This can be likened to the Geordie use of 'pet', which is interesting as both use the analogy of an animal. Derby (pronounced dar-bee ) is a city in the East Midlands of England. ...
