Cate in NZ Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I've hit the point where I can just about translate your language if written down Sheila, I really don't think I could keep up with it spoken though, too much trying to work out what the last letter was & spell out a word using the preceding ones . But I did get the "more chickens", sounds like a fine idea to me, not "silly" at all My daughters friends all used to refer to their "minis'" too, perhaps it's because it's what you risk showing if your mini-skirt is too short It was a new term to me though, that she picked up at school. The other name for it I hear being used a lot is a "penny", can't think how & why that one came about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 I've just had a lovely conversation with my friends daughter who started school this year. She is very excited as they started rehearsing for their Nativity play last week, and she has been given the role of 'Angel with Lamb', a very important part. She and her fellow angels with various animals even get to sing a carol, of which she gave me a stunning redition over coffee and chocolate courgette cake. What does she get to sing? You have to say it in your head with a broad Glaswegian accent....... 'A wean* in a manger..........' * Wean is pronounced wane to rhyme with pane for all you English folk on here, and is a good scottish word for baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
