Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was a regular visitor to a place in Germany called Camberg. I was told that they could tell from which nearby village a person came from by the way they spoke. This shows that it's everywhere that this happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I had to laugh the first time I went to Australia - the Aussies claiming they don't have an accent! They most certainly do - AND it varies depending on where in Oz they live! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poohbear 1,360 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 Makes me laugh to hear Australians speak a sentence and finish on a high note...as if somebody's pinched their bum when speaking the last word. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 That's called "Australian Inclination" always sounds like they're asking a question. SWMBO says things like parff instead of path and I constantly have a stern word or two because she's passing it on to the kids !! (Or should that be parssing it on to the kids !) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I have heard the Australian interrogative intonation [there's some big words for yer!] referred to as "Upspeak" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted May 16, 2012 Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 I think Lincolnshire people (nr the coast) also have this lift at the end that sounds questioning, whilst Scots sound threatening, or is that just my wife! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Had to laugh at your comment regarding your wife, Ashley. Every day I eat an apple at home and give my parrot the 'coke'. I'm often told that it's the 'core' but I've called it a 'coke' all my life. Does anyone else say this?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Yes, my mam and dad both used to talk of coking an apple. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It's a 'coggin', or was when I was a kid!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Braddy 160 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 It was always core when we were kids,we used eat the apple and the core, waste not wont not. We was told do not swallow the pips because if you do a apple tree will grow inside you, still waiting for the tree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 That 'orrible scaly bit around the pips took some chewin'....................but we were same, always 'etitall, cos we never knew when we'd gat another, no fruit bowls in our house. except at christmas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mudgie49 401 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 From the mid 5th century untill the mid 7th century,England played host to many European tribes,some well known and other smaller tribes not so common. The main 'invaders'were,Danes,Jutes,Angles,Saxons,and Friesian. The Trent like many rivers, played a major role,in the movement of these 'invaders'to the interior of England. Most of these people spoke an old German/Nordic language,it would seem that the 'invaders' were able to understand each other. A word I have come across,while researching this era is 'Blochenkreig' or 'war block' the mass of fighting men formed in ranks.Maybe the individual was a 'bloch' later becoming a 'bloke' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mgread1200 141 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 As a kid a gadder or galley was a type of catapult but around this area "Gadders" are ladies stockings and suspenders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 It was gadder on my road with us kids. Pea shooters were popular too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephenFord 866 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Does anybody remember (older) kids in the street swinging cans on strings, full of hot cinders - in winter this was? Not sure what the purpose of it was, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Braddy 160 Posted May 19, 2012 Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 It was just great to swing the hot can round, we put holes in the can so that hot cinders came out off the holes, that was our purpose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 TV gardeners almost invariably PLARNT things. I PLANT things but they sometimes don't grow - I wonder if I should try PLARNTING instead? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
