Oh - just out of interest - Solfod (note there is no 'r') preeky is the local accent. She had no speech impediment or learning difficulty. We all speak like that - Ever see Terry Christi'o'n (yes pronounced with an 'o') on the box? Someone who's first language is not English would be genuinely bemused. It has happend for years - Railway staff were once given an example of an elderly lancashire miner asking for a ticket. 'A munanadug t'ert bongs and bibluddyandy surry.' I know what he means. Would you? :-)
