Translation :- I don't need a book, anyway those who write them cannot talk right themselves.

Thanks to all who've supplied translations, like I said the gist of it I can get, but then someone will come up with something or other that really gets me totally bemused & bewildered

What DaveinGermany doesn't realize is that at one time Accrington, Blackburn and Burnley all had different accents (easily recognizable if you were local), so I'm thinking someone talking Lancashire dialect from say Burnley would sound a bit different from someone from Blackburn (Blegburn)
