This thread is making me giggle!

a few years ago I joined an internet group for an interest I had.

A few months later I 'met' another lady online who actually lived in the same town as I did, and we have a STRONG accent here.
When we wanted to talk in private or just wind all the others up we used to type in Dialect and no one could ever work out what we were saying.

Tina died a few years ago, and this is realy making me smile rememebering all the fun we used to have with it, so thank you all for reminding me of such good memories.
