Resolved in 2009 to come out of the 19th century and have a look round. Been told all my mates are on here. So today I have launched a new website and email tackle to see what happens. Hello, has this worked?

Absolutely - then we can teach you how to do blue clickies, so people can go directly from Mudcat to Lancashire, without crossing Pennines....

Welcome to Mudcat, Sid!

For the avoidance of any confusion (especially among Mudcatters who haven't met him, but just in case I misinterpreted the dialect in the thread title), the thread has, I think, been started by this Sid

Those of us who have met him thoroughly recommend that the rest of you do....

Bloody 'ell! 'Im wot sings on t'wireless (Oldham Community Radio April 14th 2008) with 'is dowter Lizzie cloggin'?

We did a re-run of that event for our New Year Special review of 2008... maybe I'll stick the video on YouTube, after being granted appropriate permission, o'course!

Video? Well, I figured no-one would believe we'd actually put a clog dancer on t'wireless, so I made sure we had video proof!!

Sid, that's a wonderful site of yours. Its good to see that you've put some hard work into reviving the northern Dialect Societies as they have done a lot of valuable and interesting research which deserves more recognition.
In the meantime I wonder whether the collapse of the Mudcat website might be attributed to its inabilty to cope with the vagaries of the noble tongue, but perhaps I shouldn't go down that road/alley/wiend....
