TRANSLATION - (for all you soft southerners and johnny foreigners)

"Orlrayt me ode ,welcom t'madhus ,thaas got a fair sillekshin o bykes septink fer t'Harley , but nee'er mind youth ,we all mek misteks once in a while."

Hello friend, welcome to the madhouse, you've got a good selection of bikes except for the Harley, but never mind friend, we all make mistakes once in a while.

"At las sumun as cnn tork rayt"

At last someone who speaks properly

"Tek no nowtis o theez mardy boggers , sum on emz a bit stuck up , ride new BMWs an all that guz wi 'em - rayt tup eads sum on em !
Weather's a bit nesh ovver ere , bliddy snow , sowz ar reckin arl mash some tea and ay five minnits afore ar guz aht wit shovel t dig missen aht .
Dunna rekkin arl get biyk aht fur annuther month or tew.
Ah well ard best gerron .
Sithee !"

Take no notice of these wimpy immature people, some of them think they are better than us, ride new BMW's with everything, not very clever some of them.
The weather is somewhat cool here, some snow, so I think I'll make some tea and have a break before I go outside and clear the snow away to dig myself out.
I don't think I'll be riding my bike for another month or two.
Well, I better get going.
Bye bye.

"Sithee fella, yer upteryerarse in snaaa! git yer uvver aif ter dee all shuvellin, nee yowse keepin a bleedin dog an barkin thissen!"

So friend, what you want to do if you have a lot of snow is to persuade your wife to clear it, it is no use having a dog and barking yourself.

That's all for now, oops, I meant to say, tha's rait youth.
P.S. the meat pies have come.

Owd up !

Zal ik er dan ook maar een beetje Hollands doorheen gooien, dan snapt tenminste niemand het meer, behalve andere nederlanders.
Doei

I lived at DeerDale youth! Not a cats kick from Bilsthorpe, went ter skewel in Rennorth! Joseph whittaker comp, a reyt dogs ole that were!

ayt bells were allreet but feenix or orse n jockey were better, duz thee recall that Henstock's Honda Bike Shop? Got me fust reel mowbike frum theyer! XL125 wi fancy one shock up its arris!

Then they wus that pillock at pleasley motorcycles sold theens Em Zeds, funny awd things that had a tank like a camels ump!

issa small wurld reely innit?

Martyn

My wife is watching so I better behave.
Anyway, yes it is a small world.
I was at Quarrydale school in Sutton, we used to thrash Joseph Whittaker at football, or so I remember, mind you I don't remember us ever losing a game, I must have blanked it out.
A mate bought an MZ from there but it fell apart after a couple of weeks and took it back so he went to Taggs in Sutton. I used to go to Richardsons in Mansfield until the old man died or left, can't remember which, many years ago.

Actualy, I expected a reaction in Dutch so you disappoint me a little :-)

By the way, is that a "real" dialect that you write there, or do you just make it up for fun ?
If I do my best, I can understand most of it but it looks very odd.

It's more of an accent than a dialect, it's the way we speak in that area but written phonetically.

Well bogger me , Martyns frum Bilsthorpe ,small world rayt ennuf , well ah wayn't hode that aginst thee lad . Me dads frum Rennuth ,motthers frum Kirkby ,me grommpa had a farm at Kirkby ,all billt ovver naar tho .We flitted t' Derby but I allus spent me 'olidees at grommpas .Later I wokked fur a contrektor planting spuds , ploughing and combinding all o'er frum Alfriten ,Sheffild ddarn ter Nottingum .Happy days .Spent many an evening supping at Showder in Tibshelf when I were all barkled up aftur combinding ,thosty and spitting fethurs .
Watch thissen darn in Spain .
Sithee !

Geeower!
 

I were spat outta me Ma's belly up in Sunderland er all places!
Spent 2 year in Shiney row then 12 in Dronny (Dronfield) near Sheffield. after that at tender age er fowerteen i wuz dragged kikkin n screamin to go live in a ruddy great huge owse on Deerdale lane near Bilsthorpe.

It were reyt ace boggerin of up ter butts in forest to mess abaht on me traily! I had a crackin likkle TL125 wi a sproggit onit size er a dustbin lid!

There was a book published in tha late 70s called "Eyup me duck" all about the local dialect Derbyshire/ Nottinghamshire borders, written as it was spoken facinating and some times difficult reading.

The dialect is still widely spoken today, mainly by the older generation but great to hear.

I say to my grand daughter "artorayt" she replies "nonsabad" shes only four I wonder when she grows up will she hear her local dialect, I doubt it.

Artorayt = are you alright

Nonsabad = yes thank you

When I was in my early 20s and working in a wire producing factory almost everyone spoke in the local dialect, the factory has now gone as have the charactures that worked there, one of my favorite sayings that came from one the old boys was "owdtheefutup" translated take your time, or take your foot of the accelerator, I still use this phrase and many more like it, to this day:D

dunt get thee fethers ruffled lad!
 

Coming Soon!

Ey Yp Me Duck

The dialect is one of the oldest forms of English and would be understood by a time traveller from the middle ages , many words are Viking in origin .
If you have seen the film Beowulf , you know the wierd animated version with Antony Hopkins and Angelina Jolie , you will have heard Grendel talking in a very similar fashion , including several words used in previous posts .
My son was very chuffed when he came back from the doctors after a blood test and informed me that the doctor said he had Viking markers in his blood .Coming from the east Midlands ,it didn't surprise me very much .But a bit of a novelty in Canada though .

Anyrode I'd best mek haste , arv gorra copy o "Eyup me Duck " somweer , mebbe in one o them bocsis darnstairs , I mun etter find it and ay a good laff .

Ar tuk me cat ter vet's , he sed "is it a Tom ?"
Ar sed "no yu daft beggar , I browt it wimme ".

Ramdom ruminations on dialects
 

The first Mrs MarkE was an imigrant and I thought it would be clever to learn to communicate with her parents (and know what they might be saying about me). I went out and invested in a Linguaphone course and hid the tapes in the car so I could secretly learn while commuting. After about a year I had almost completed the course and, on a good day, I could follow the satelite TV in her parent's home, but I still couldn't understand a word they said. I finally admitted defeat and admitted my subterfuge. When she finished rolling around the floor laughing at my naivity, she explained that I had learned standard Italian, and her parents spoke the old Sicilian dialect. I believe its only the older generation who use the dialect now - the children want to follow the latest soaps on Rai etc.

Nearer home. the present Mrs MarkE (better cook, less emotional and altogether better person, but with lousy taste in men, thank God) is from t' frozen north; Lancashire (she says, but the road signs say Bolton is actually Greater Manchester). Most of the time she is easily understood, but if she's been speaking to her mother any length of time I need a translator! If my mother in law is angry she is totally incomprehensible! At least I can kid myself she's not aiming at me.

You lot should be ashamed of yourselves with your "trouble at 't' mill" talk. Nobody understands it, nor wants to. You sound as if you've suffered brain damage and are left with a speech impediment.

Trust me, I'm a speech therapist....you can get help.

Gentlemen - be assured that never has one of you upset me in any way! You dont have that kind of ability. Each one of you has TRIED to annoy me, but you have felt the sting as I slapped you all around the ears. Naughty boys must be corrected, and I've sent you all to bed whimpering when you became rude or abusive.

Your one of Dodgers Mates then?
 

He's into all That! :rofl: ( in the best possible taste eh Dodgy?)

Trust me Cammy my old Mate, I could upset you easy as pie... thing is if I did you would do what you did last time you got a ban and that is go crying n whingeing to the Moderators giving it the " I'm Sorry, I don't understand it so well, I'm foreign you see", and playing the 'Racial Minority' card....... and getting your ban lifted. And I see you still haven't aknowledged the points I graciously took from you!
