Seems there are dielect difficulties within Yorkshire as well.
Who here is nesh? Are they thralled?
Happen.
dare we mention why temporary traffic lights all over UK no longer bear the sign "Wait while red light shows"?
perfectly understandable in most parts but in Yorkshire "while" means "UNTIL"! It took a few accidents and court cases to remind London that the rest of the UK speaks differently (to them & to each other).
Happen so!!!
