Howdy All;

I have been absorbed in reading this and a Shithead Wully threads for most of the day.
As a born and raised American I should begin by saying my brain is tired...
I have been subjected to various dialects here in the States. From some family that have
been DownEast Mainers, friends that were brought up in the middle of Cajun Country (Louisiana swamps)
Friend from Georgia (Jaw-ja), Virginia (Va-gin-ya), and many other small chunks of Americana.

The chance to grapple with the differences of Scotts, and Irish, English and Welsh is to me fun.
those of you the posses the ability to write what you hear is a true gift...

Thanks for putting these threads up.

Once sat in a hotel dining table with a married couple from Aberdeen and an English schoolteacher. My wife and I could understand the schoolteacher and
the gent from Aberdeen, Every time the wifie from Aberdeen spoke the teacher, my wife and I would say "Pardon".
After a few days of this the husband acted as an interpreter.
fishing is a way of life .
