Thread Name: BS: 'Archers' (UK radio soap) - dialect.
Subject: BS: 'Archers' (UK radio soap) - dialect.
Although my 'Archers' listening days are long in the past, I recall one of the characters (Walter Gabriel, I think, though it may have been Tom Forrest)pleading with others to be a little bit 'haysum-jaysum' (spell it how you like), meaning reasonable, sensible. Has anyone in the even realler world ever heard this phrase used? Does it belong to Warwickshire, where I believe the Archers were set, or was it a script-writers' fiction?
