My apologies. I suspect, therefore, he was talking about Cumbrian dialect.

Cumbrian also gets part of its dialect from Cumbric, the gaelic dialect spoke in the NW of England. Shepherds still count their flock in Cumbric (“yan”, “tyan”, “tetherie” etc.).

Chester’s close to Manchester, Liverpool and North Wales. Lancashire and maybe even at a stretch Yorkshire accents are also possibilities, for “local” accents. My bet’s on Scouse, though.

I agree that from the description, Scouse is almost certain.
Fantastic link 
Here’s one from near me - but you’d struggle to find anyone using that much dialect nowadays! This is more typical of older people now, and also of parts of younger generations.
Edit: Listening to the first one right through, I’ll admit that I’m struggling at times without looking at the translations!
