You've got it in one, but doesn't it read well!

Alfresco_2

Yes, but that's a h*ll of a lot of pats on the back!

Not 'alf Alf.

Retired now, probably injured with a shattered spine. :eek:

'alf Alf -like it!

Observation on dialects (look something vaguely cranial to tempt back the ladies). Both extreme Yorshire and extreme London dialects abuse the past tense of "is".

In Yorks, "was" is not liked, so it's "I were", "he were", "she were" :eek: Deirdre !

in London it's "were" that goes AWOL with "we was", "you was" and "they was" :eek: Ricky !

Thank you. I think it will stick for as long as we're afloat which looks like tea time.

I think I must just be plain think, I'm, really struggling with is it one word or two word thing, them instead of those and me instead of my.

I think the me/my one is down to comic phrasing I think "I'll just my coat" hasn't got the same comic impact as "I'll get me coat"

It's like two lonely cricketers practising in the cricket nets after the test match has finished...

Them and those bloody hard - have to lure the Olive back for that one.

"Me" and "my" straighfoward enough - "my" must always be used for possession, e.g. it's my coat. I love my OH. "me" has nothing to do with possession, it indicates you as an object to some action, so: Give it to me. Take me from behind etc.
