[cornettracing80]

"cor blimey" what the heck is that, drunken rambling?
and what is a puncture? he talks like he has a mouth full of marbles lmao
i picture benny hill every time i read one of doc's posts
too damn funny

[smartybones]

"cor blimey" , lol,,, i supose its just a more politicaly correct way of saying "wtf"

a "puncture" is a hole made by a sharp object... in this case in a tyre.... you would say "a flat". what we would call "a flat" is somewhere you would live in a multi-story building. what you would call "an apartment" or " a condo"

other common ones that might help..

crisp's = chips...
chips = french fries...
nappy = diaper
buscuit = cookie
sweets = candy
pop = soda
bampot = foolish person
buns are somthing you eat, not sit on.... the list goes on.... i am sure if there are any more you need to know just ask.... the translation will be supplied...

A puncture is a flat, as in tire (tyre). The references are to a sitcom show that was first aired in the UK around 30 years ago called 'Open all hours' starring a guy called Ronnie Barker (Arkwright). Look it/him up on the web. He sadly died not too long ago but he still remains, at least to my mind a truly iconic figure in british comedy. Also check out David Jason, he starred alongside Barker in the show as his long suffering nephew, Granville, both, I feel, put Benny Hill into the shade.

it could be a lot worse for you cornet.... we could all type the way we actually talk in our local dialect...

for example take the phrase, "the quick brown fox, jums over the lazy dogs"

in yorkshire doc would say it as. "T' sharp brown fox jumps o'a t' lazy dog."

someone from the midlands.. would say "The quick brown fox jumps over the yampey wammel."

another person from newcastle way would say "The quick broon tod jumps owor the spinnor doog."

down in london you would get "The quick brahn fox jumps over the lazy Cherry Hogg."

even people from difrent parts of the UK have dificulty understanding their acccents....

And if you get a true Cornishman (don't know Ade's origins) then you have no chance whatsoever

[Dr Iguana]

The learned doctor speaking broad Yorkshire? I always speak RP dear boy, best BBC pronunciation, I could read the news, I could.

But do I ever go back to my native tongue? Why aye bonny lad, why aye. Mind ye, ah

[smartybones]

I thought your origins were in Sunderland more than Newcastle. sorry doc, I couldent possibly have been more insulting geting the two mixed up lol...

lol, a old mate of mine was from newcastle, but had spent 15 years down under... his accent was a bad one, half "why aye man", and half "g'day bruce, throw another shrimp on the barbie !!"

was it Newcastle Utd, that did the advert for sugar puffs and the sale of them fell drasticly in Sunderland or was it the other way around?
