I find accents fascinating, often people think they do not have one, but everyone else does, they can even differ from village to village with just 20 miles between them.

Can you do a Welsh one Robo :D

Little Yorkshire lad is standing near t'canal holding two slices of bread and crying his eyes out. A man man comes along and asks what the matter is. "Me mates fallen in t'canal", replies the tearful boy. "O my God!", says the man and jumps in. Dives down a few times but comes up empty-handed. "I can't find him", he says. "Was he a big lad?". "No", says the little lad. "Me mate out me sandwich". :(

Great Dawn French clip. Don't usually find her or her po-faced partner funny, but that was superb.

She must be gutted she's not with Lenny any more, now he's a Lord or whatever they made him. :head:

:P

There used to be a local wholesaler who supplied food the Chinese Takeaways and such. They were called "Legal Foods". Their vans were a familiar sight around the area. The story goes that upon the business start up the owners ordered all the stationery from the printers by phone. They wanted "Regal Foods". :roll: Having got stuck with a big pile of misprinted invoices and wotnot they decided to go with it.
Don't know if it's true or not, but all the vans had a little crown logo. :Slap:

Yorkshireman takes his cat to the vet.

Yorkshireman: "Ayup, lad, I need to talk to thee about me cat."
Vet: "Is it a tom?"
Yorkshireman: "Nay, I've browt it with us."
:giggle:

A Yorkshiremans' wife dies and he decides that her headstone should have the words "She Were Thine" engraved on it.

He calls the stone mason, who assures him that the headstone will be ready a few days after the funeral. True to his word the stone mason calls the Yorkshireman to say that the headstone is ready and would he like to come and have a look.

When he gets there he takes one look at the stone to see that it's been engraved "She Were Thin". He tells the stone mason he has left out the "e"

The stone mason apologises and assures the poor widower that it will be rectified the following morning. Next day comes and the Yorkshireman returns to the stone mason - "There you go sir, I've put the "e" on the stone for you".

The Yorkshireman looks at the stone and then reads out aloud -

"E, She Were Thin"!

There seems to be lots of Lincolnshire dialect words for general moaning and complaining....

Wherrit. To complain in an persistent and annoying manner.

"He's done nort but wherrit since he got here". Or can also can be used as a noun. "He's a right little wherrit".

Mithering (sp?) Similar to wherriting, but more annoying.

"Stop mithering yer Mother while she's busy".

Mardy. In an irritable mood.

"You're a bit mardy today". "Don't talk to him. he's a right mardyarse"

Lots of others. My favourite is "Slape" (to rhyme with tape). Meaning slippery. "Watch that path it's a bit slape"

"Eppen". Cared for. Usually used with an un on the front. "Them yows look a bit uneppen" (Those sheep are not in the best condition).

The most untranslatable is maybe "Clunch". It an adjective applied to anyone with a generally miserable or homourless disposition. It's a bit more subtle than that though."He's a bit clunch ". Imagine a Methodist lay preacher. :lol:

Wherrit? Never heard of that one; I wonder if it's where the Aussies get 'whinge' from (or maybe that's from 'whine').

Another one is to add 'ite' to end the a word to denote someone's origins or general proclivities. Some who lives in a certain place may be termed a [name of place]-ite. That's not too unusual. But someone who lets say likes gardening would be a gardeningite. People on this forum would be framingites.


Question: If you were in Lincolnshire and someone asked you to sneck the gairt, what action would you take?

That's a gairt. :giggle:

I can't do my favourite accent; put the point of compass on the road half way between Welshpool and Newtown in Powys .. and draw a circle that goes maybe 5 miles past those two towns - that area, the Shropshire borders, has a fabulous accent, it's like a combination of soft South Walian and Bristolian! It's also a very beautiful part of the world.

A small gate there is a wicket.

Some words that should end with n't end with 'nner' instead - e.g. "I don't", "I won't" (or "I wouldn't") would be "I dunner" and "I wunner" and there's a famous phrase from those parts "You munner say dunner, it inner perlite"
