Hi, my family's from Yorkshire, and I lived and worked up there for a few years. One of my colleagues, who was very, very Yorkshire once told me the following story from his childhood. Those of you unfamiliar with the Yorkshire accent, think "The Full Monty".
He was about 4 or 5 years old, and walking with his Dad. He climbed up onto a high wall and walked along it to the end, where he wanted to jump off. "Will you catch me, Dad?" "Course I will son, off you go" "Are you sure, Dad" "Aye, come on son. Jump off". So he jumps off. His dad steps backwards and the lad lands heavily and painfully, cutting and bruising himself. "Now, let that be a lesson, son", his dad says. "Never trust nobody". --- Bob mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Monday, March 18, 2002, 12:22:15 PM, you wrote: > Hi, > John Coyle wrote: >> Never do owt for nowt, an' if tha doos, do it for thisen. > Which should have been prefaced with: > "Hear all, see all, say nowt. > Eat all, sup all, pay nowt." > Most of the natives I have met are proud of this saying, which > reveals a lot about our largest county........ > mike > - > This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
