Re: English and how it is spoke

An example is the word "bonny". All my life I've used bonny to mean good-looking, pretty etc. In Warrington it means fat. Never tell a Warrington lady she's a bonny girl or she'll be mortally offended. They also tend to miss out the word "to", as in "I'm goin' work".

Tehehehe thats some great examples of dialet & accents Westender specially found the quote funny though i bet it was quite confusing if you got caught up in the embarrassment for an innocent phraze
