I AM English rural and I've never sung in Mummerset in my life!!

But I do accept your comments about dialect and Queens' English. After all, when you've been brought up speaking proper all your life, suddenly being confronted by the language of a half German monarch who wouldn't know a peggle if they trod on one, would be confusing.

Same goes for Chaucer.... how many people could understand him these days?
