Oh gosh, How absolutely riveting people...... ..........

On a more serious note, since moving up north, I have noticed that the "slang" differs from town to town even though they may be only a few miles apart. I am slowly beginning to recognise "Burnley" bods from "Accyites" by the way they speak! Down south, there are many dialects but there is a gradual change as you travel 30/50/80 miles, but Oop 'ere, you only have to visit a neighbouring town to hear a completely new language! No wonder that there is so much controversy over the meanings of words on the web site introduced by Janet............
