Re: Introducing myself

I apprehended that many people from the 'north' did in fact pronounce the letter 't' a great deal: such as t' mill t' child support agency and t' prison. I know this is not endemic as my cow of an ex wife was from Lancaster and spoke with RC.

I'm also interested to know if you 'speak as I find' and if you could translate 'He'd nut putten a deal o' nowt inti t' land' as I would love to finally find out what it means.

A good point. I was actually referring to "t"s within words. The phrase "what a lot of little bottles" becomes the retarded mewing "wha' a lo' a li'l bo'les".

While I can translate the phrase I am wary of violating the Biblical rule against teaching. As such, I direct you to this page written by a Reverand which contains a translation. I hope that merely pointing to a source is not viewed as teaching.

Worry not, good Catherine; I'm proud to say that I haven't learnt anything today that did not come from the Bibile (KJV1611).

Glory!
