How Quickly Does Albendazole Work?

[Egluntyne]

I can't understand the Hull accent at all. I met someone from 'ool' ('oo' as in look) once and she had to tell me where she came from at least 4 times and I still couldn't understand! It's remained a joke amongst us 25 years later!

 

The South Yorkshire accent takes a bit of getting used to.

 

It is very different to the rest of Yorkshire. Him Indoors comes from York and sounds nothing like.

 

They are known as "Dee Dahs" ....which is essentially thee and thou.

 

Mind you I can't be too critical about accents as I have a Manchester accent and Him Indoors says I sound like Bernard Manning!

[starboyhull]

Then of course you get the posh people in Hull, who say "hal" I mean....Whats that all about...... Its a very simple work to pronounce.....

 

If there is ever anyone on the news from Hull, I just cant bear to listen.....

 

I dont mind the brummy accent.....

I find accents interesting anyway, but on here it's really enlightening because accents don't come over in the written word.

 

I speak Queen's English of course! I'm from Surrey

They can do.

I have friends who type aye instead of yes and so on.

I've just bought a rabbit hutch froma broad norfolk lad. When he was emailing he added 'ed' to a lot of his words. As in he gave me hid number in case my huband got losted.

I too speak the Queens English naturally. My Gran used to complain that I spoke with a Loo-on accent which of course noone else said.

re the bottom/bum debate: my kids obviously watch too much american tv, because we get the dreaded word 'butt'! mind you, I'm coming round to it myself now, as in "will you get off your butt and get in the car, it's time for school!"

obviously mine's a derriere!!! (joke)

[feemcg]

I have a couch in the living room.

 

I have breakfast, lunch and dinner (and supper is usually a bottle of wine

 

)

 

Both the bathroom and shower room are called the toilet - upstairs toilet and downstairs toilet

 

Round here some of the older folk call their hall the lobby, and their kitchen the scullery . My dad used to call the toilet the shunky - don't know where he got that from and apologies if its something rude I don't know about!

[Looney]

We also wear pants and not knickers

 

Oh yes! I forgot that one. I'm with you there Debs.

 

But pants are for fellas and knickers are for girlies.....in my house at least

[Guest]

2 girls and 2 boys in our house and we all wear pants

[Looney]

The thing in the bathroom is either a loo or a bog...more often than not it's called the bog!

 

I have an a*se or a backside - very rarely a bum or a bottom

 

If I had children however I would probably have to have a major rethink about my choice of terminology!

When you have teenagers.....it's an a*se!

Now what about scone? is it gone sound or phone sound?

[Egluntyne]

I'd say Scone to rhyme with stone.

[bronze]

so you can't say the whats the fastest cake in the world joke then

[Egluntyne]

Sorry Bron....I'm not getting that!

[craftyhunnypie]

Our house (1930's) still doesn't have any heating! We have lovely roaring fires in the winter, furry throws to cuddle up in on the settee & electric blankets on the bed! We are very rarely poorly either!

OK, exposing myself to ridicule here...

 

We have a sofa in the living room, plus various chairs.

An upstairs and downstairs loo.

We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner

Rosie (she will kill me for this) has front and back bottoms

She wears knickers, not telling what I wear

Scone rhymes with gone

 

Round here, they add 'I did' the sentences, as in 'I went into town, I did'

 

Posh? Me? I've been called worse!

[Guest]

Sorry Bron....I'm not getting that!

 

scone spelt 's gone! The fastest cake's gone.

 

This is very hard to put into words. Are you understanding me? Try saying 'It's gone' really quickly and you might get it.

 

I always understood that scone (as in gone) was Scottish and scone (as in phone) is English. But isn't the Scottish seat thing a scone (as in scoon)?

[Louise]

That'll be the scottish throne ginette the stone of scone pronounced scoon

 

We like to be different

[feemcg]

Yes Ginette - I would visit 'skoon' palace but eat a 'skon' .

[beach chick]

a skon with jam and clotted cream, mmmmm.

schooner of sherry anyone?!

Got it now!

[Guest]

Sorry Louise and Fee, I didn't mean to be rude about your throne. Reading back, it seemed a bit dismissive. I'm gald I was right about the pronunciation though. Strange you should eat a scon then!

[craftyhunnypie]

In our house we call scone as in stone

We have 2 loos

toilet habits are wees & dumps

Underwear is knickers - even hubby calls his boxers knickers!

 

Claret - Rosie is not alone calling it front & back bum. I did the same when I was little & my sister called her front bum....a lucy!!!!!????

 

We also say lickle (little) & keckle (kettle) in our house - due to hubby being a Lancashire lad.

 

We used to call sweets - GROTS!

& we used to call stew.....tayter ash!

My dad used to be a milkman, & said the fastest milk was pateurised (geddit- past your eyes?) *groans*

 

Back to the "you know you are old theme" I have just filled in an online survey where you have to scroll down for your date of birth- it takes a long time to get to 1972

She wears knickers, not telling what I wear

 

You dont have to tell us what you wear as you dont wear anything!
