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.

More Yorkshire phrases for tourists;

Assput thy leets aht pal = I am becoming annoyed.

Aztha gorrenni ferless = have you any lower priced items?

Am nobbut pain that = It is too expensive.

Yorkshire phrases for tourists;

Middads gorrajag = My father owns a jaguar motorcar.
Tintintin = it is not in the tin.
Pleezthachuffin sen = its your choice.

My late mum was originally from Glasgow and when I used to cry she'd say, "stop that greetin ma wee wayne" I'm probabley going to be put right in the spelling of that...but it was many years ago. Another thing I remember, she was talking about my grandad having hurt his leg, and instead of saying he's got a limp, she said "och yes he drags a leg now you know." That always made me smile.
She was lovely.

I thought it was in the T and Cs of Genes that you have to speak English on these boards!!!!!
I'm from Cardiff and donlt think I have an accent at all until I go somewhere like London when I am immediately identified as a Taff. The Cardiff accent is quite harsh though - very hard on the "A" - in fact there are different accents for most of the suburbs of Cardiff but when you move further North, just a mile up the road from me in fact, the accent is far more Welsh = Cardiff is more cosmopolitan and always has been because of the Docks - or should I say The Bay which has gone all posh these days

awrite my bab, how be doin

nay lass t'accents int gone

In Suffolk, we say "shew" instead of "showed".

eg. "I shew him where to go!"

instead of....

"I showed him where to go!"

Apparently, when I talk to my mum/aunt/grandad, my Suffolk accent, which I don't think I normally have, appears! Some people I meet think I come from London, and when staying with friends in London, they've laughed hysterically at my strange Suffolk accent - go figure!

ee bah gum thas a nice lass.....

Did you know.. MUGABE

is eebah gum backwards?

EE by gum !

Whatever that means !!

I like the way that the Scots folk say " Theres you " when they give you your change in the shops.
