No Dialect words in Suffolk then?

Squit, Bor! We hed em in ah day, as youngsters, you saawta gre up wi' 'em; bu' nauow you don' heair them anywhere, hahdly. You're losin' I'.” - excuse the pronunciation there - one does ones best

 

[Nemesis]

Oh but David is posh Suffolk - I noted last time I was there that the PO and shop in Clare had many maps of France for sale.


Ooop here we think it sophisticated to have maps of Cumbria on sale in Northumberland.

 

[skier-hughes]

What's a map.........

I'm from the midlands

 

[shelli]

Vital to have maps of Cumbria in case townies forget to stop at Alston and get lost in the Wild!

 

[Nemesis]

Oooh - we don't tell townies about Alston in case they clog it up and we can't get into the chip shop (or Blueberries for scones).

The other half has discovered that some of his his ancestry is East Anglia.

Born in Durham, brought up dahn souf, now we find out he may even have Dutch settled in Colchester ancestry.

No wonder I can't understand him.

 

[Penners]

Blimey - the C's have been putting it about a bit, haven't they?

 

[Nemesis]

Multicultural obviously.
