Got to hand it to you MissAdventure you are quick off the mark @ 20.29 made me laugh too

I've lived in Essex for 40 years and nobody speaks like that round here.

Perhaps they're all incomers.

I've never been although we almost moved there years ago, but yes, when I was researching one branch of DH's family history, I looked up some of the places where they came from and realised how lovely it is.
They moved to the Midlands - I wonder how they coped with the accent and vernacular?

Laughed out loud @ 20.29 MissAdventure

There are some absolutely beautiful parts of Essex.
Real chocolate box places, with thatched roofs, roses around the doors, and acres of countryside around them.

I'm sure there are terribly, terribly posh parts of Essex too.
As there are everywhere.

I can remember my mother telling me off for saying munna, dunna, wunna etc then telling me I sounded like a snob after elocution lessons at school!
I couldn't win.

Thankfully.

You obviously live in a different part of Essex from me.

We all do here.
Much as I hate admit it; I do.
It gives me the right 'ump.

I've lived in Essex for 40 years and nobody speaks like that round here.

Sounds like you are translating for Danny Dyer! Thanks for the laugh, Miss A. I'm married to an Essex boy and no offence taken here! Mind you, he speaks posher since we married and only lapses into 'Essex - lingo' when talking to his bruvver. ?

I’m always amused when people joke about my accent. But in all honesty I’ve never heard a Welsh person use the term ‘boyo’ which us welsh people are supposed to be famous for! Don’t be put off missadventure it was funny. Some people take offence at just about everything.

UMP – Upset, as in Got the Ump.

Ay up me duck, yer'reet?

Lancashire:

Tha's a cack 'anded bugga My goodness! You are a clumsy fellow.

MissA

No thread would be complete without a fun sponge waiting to take offence where none was intended. Absolutely brilliant MissAdventure, thanks for the smile. I'll try to find some Lancashire dialect sayings and will post them. Fun sponges... be prepared!

Well you could also be teaching Black Country dialect MissA.
And i think it`s a fun post.
Being a brummie, i`m used to people either taking the Mick or telling me they love my accent.

Well it made me ?

I think it’s clever and funny…??????

I thought it was clever. I'm a Brummie. Anyone can (and frequently do) take the mickie out of my accent. I find it funny.

FONG – Skimpy undergarment.

FOR CRYIN AT LAAD – Mild expletive showing annoyance or surprise. E.G. “For cryin at lad, Britney, if I say Yes will you give it a rest?”

EssPee
I think it’s up to us Essex girls to decide if it’s offensive.
It’s not. It’s a very clever piece of writing ????

Looks like they would.
