Hah, yeah, the dropping of prepositions in around verbs has been alive in Yorkshire forever, where it's also common for articles too. And non-speakers often misrepresent the glottal stop which replaces the definite article in Yorkshire as a "t" or "tut" sound, but it's not there. It's not "goin tut pub", it's "goin - pub".
I did enjoy one finer point in the article though. I'm old, closing on 40, but I've only ever known "'llow it", not "allow it". There no "a" in 'llow it, man :D
