mudgie49 401 Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 When I came to live in America I spoke English,you know "ayup meodeduck" normal Nottingham English.I got so pi$$ed off with Americans saying" I'm sorry would you say that again." With the help of my 'old Gert' I now sound my H's etc,in return I taught her the words and meaning of bullocks and hanker,she uses these two words like a native of Nottingham.I get a real kick when her fellow country say,"I'm sorry would you say that again.
