My taller (and more bearded) half won the Devon dialect competition at Crediton Folk Festival once - and he's Cornish!
I would have thought that Charles Babbage would have been up there as a great Devonian, seeing as how the world cannot now seem to do anything without a computer....................
It seems there was an engraved trophy for this competition, I would have loved to see them present that to Sir Francis Drake............
But Maybe I am just an old cynic!!!!!
Cheers, Lucy
