Freda, our "How are you lovie, or love" Sister in Law, taught me all about pinnies. Otto and I use many, English,(as in British Isles) slang words, courtesy of Freda, who grew up in London.

At least Koolaid is good for something. I certainly would never drink this stuff.......:+((

Els

Do you go "up the apples and pears" to "bedfordshire" then Els? And do you "adam and eve it" when your cup of "rosie lee"'s too hot? Love & higs (claiming to have been born (almost ) within sound of the bells of St Mary le Bow, but actually more an East Ender by birth, despite being a Kentish Maid by inclination) Christine

I can see why! I lacked the _3 ;-) Hope it will reach you now! AUD ;-)

Oh Thanks Christine, I now have some good saying to come with the next time Freda is here. My brother and Freda live about 10 minutes away from here. I am going to forward your posting.....LOL

Thanks and a hug

Els

When we had our beginners spinning day a few weeks ago, which Els missed :-(( , we did some spinning on pencils. As a novice I found that really useful to get a good sense of what was happening with the fibre. It made it a lot easier to deal with the faster spinning on a wheel.

No I dont think I'd fancy drinking it Els either...just one of those things, I make alot of summer juice myself anyway...

Oh good, but of course we know you are pretty much multi lingual so it's there for those who aren't of course...lol

;~) Cher

East ender flipping ekk girl you could've made the big screen then my maid, which is how Zomerzet Devoners and Cornishmen call their ladies....my maid.. lol Cher

the thing with cockney rhyming slang Els is it doesn't always have to rhyme..but there are others Dog n Bone (phone) for another one...I used to know loads.. lived in London Kilburn Cricklewood and around that area in the mid sixties. Cheers....Cher

Hearing it with Freda's soft voice and great accent is half the fun, Naturally I give it back with my fat accent we make a great pair

Els

spinning using pencils and obviously a weight Els I think was meant...higz Cher

omg ........giggle you are the limit this I can imagine...lol

higz cher

I must be really dense this morning...( kept falling over during the yoga classes as well...Ha, ha)

I was there for the Saturday teaching session. There are even pictures of Eimear on my website from that day. I am sure I still am not reading, or maybe understanding your posting Eimear. It is going to be one of those days....LOL

Els

I didn't ever live in the East End (unlike DD2 who thinks it's a wonderful place to live; wouldn't catch me there for all the tea in China!) so my accent ( *I* don't have an accent!) is probably NW Kent with a tiny bit of Estuary English which I try to keep under control. I'd love to hear everybody's accents here, it just would be fascinating Love & higs Christine

lol know what you mean, I hated living in London anyway, I love the quiet rural life of the country, where the pace of life just ambles along... I did like Maidstone though working on the hop fields... what a job that was..but it payed my college fees..
