Beachbum 68 Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 Just thought I'd pop back in here after a little toaster related incident this morning, my present wife overdid her toast and I blurted out something I've not said , or heard for years, 'yuv bont it tu boggery'. Got a very strange look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G.I.Rocheque 1 Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 My daughter who lives down south rang up work to say that she'd be late in as she'd overlay. Nobody knew what she was on about. It reminded me of the embarrassing incident when I ventured down there in my youth. I stopped an ice cream vendor in his van and said "Canna ava sucker?" The bloke was totally baffled until I pointed out what I required from his illustrated list ......"Oh you mean an ice lolly," he responded. I continued "Anna Tub" which elicited more perplexity until another pointy finger met with "you mean a carton!". I decided after that never to stop the icecreamo again. Having spent a fortnight explaining that "mending the fire" didn't mean it was broken and "mashing the tea" didn't equate to mashing the spuds. I was glad to get om where we speak proper.

Rob.L 1,088 Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 I think I'm spending too much time on this forum. Went to the bakery section of a large supermarket the other day, as I was preparing to barbecue some burgers and needed to put them in something. My question of "Ayagorranycobs, duck?" met with a blank response, as if I was talking in tongues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Any way who would really think a Bed would sing about ducks. I had forgotten about babies pods!! When we lived abroad I had to change so many words so that people knew what I was talking about, and what is really sad is my children wouldn't even know these now. We had bootees, not pods (they were for peas), rolls not cobs, ice lollies not suckers and probably loads more that I have forgotten. A lost culture 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bing 78 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Seriously, has anybody given any thought about making a series of recordings of old Nottingham language. Because when the likes of us are gone, so will be gone the language we speak. Children today all speak 'estuary English' with it's glottal stops (eg bo'ul for bottle). There's easily enough source material on these pages. The weather report in Nottinghamese was just a joke to them, and the girl didn't pronounce half the words correctly.

Commo 1,292 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Bing, re #75, there was a BBC local radio project in 1999 called The Century Speaks where the local stations around the country, including Radio Nottingham, recorded the memories of local people talking in their own regional dialect and these were to be stored in the National Sound Archive of the British Library to form a Millenium Memory Bank, though how this is now accessed I have no idea. The interviews were also published in book form Voices of Nottinghamshire although in this you have to be able to speak Nottinghameze to fully appreciate it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bing 78 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Born and bred in Old Radford I certainly can speak nottnm. I bet our house here in north-east Thailand is the only one for many miles around that mashes a cup of tea. And my Thai wife and kids understand "av yer mashed miduck?" 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
