In Bristol as I am sure is similar in other UK counties we can buy guide phrase books to familiarise visitors and tourists with the local sayings and spellings. In the local shops around here we have t-shirts now which are selling really well with popular Bristoleaze phrases like 'Theym ginorrmous' (They are extremely large) 'Theyze me dapz mind' (I am only wearing casual sneakers, I would love to come if you don't mind my casual dress.

For a laugh I will send the odd Bristolian saying or greeting to my younger son like 'Ow's Bist me ole babby?' or 'Right me Cocker?' who has so much fun explaining it to his Madagascan girlfriend.
