AND who ever posted can't have any idea what a local dialect is, and the fact that others either cant understand or find that dialect funny is one of the things that make it and the area famous. I'm not a brummie, but i love my slight twang, and the fact that i say ospital instead of hospital and ouse instead of house, and goo instead of go. example of atherstone dialect, haws it goooin yoof, hav ya bin round yum yet. also yan gotta keep loffin ain't ya. which translates as hows are you doing, have you been round to home yet and you've got to keep laughing haven't you.

perhaps you'd like to list some local sayings and translate them.
