And I'm not posh, and live in Derbyshire. I can't help it too.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
So, it's simple enough.
It's scone, as in gone.
Paths & baths as in Maths.
Book and cook as in boot.
... and drawing as in ... well ... drawing, not draw-ring.
... and dried fruit and candied peel in foodstuffs as in "WHY ????"

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

A massive slab of rump steak off the BBQ just consumed. I think I could do with a little nap now
It is Scone as in gone and there are no 'r's in a bath, path or anything else spelt ath. Whilst we're at it, why would you pronounce a book like nuke?

To be honest, after 30 years away I found that so do I. Never a positive decision or step, it just sort of crept up on me.Bruce Rioja wrote:I say book, cook and hook as in luck.
Don't tell GG.
But "draw'ring" pisses me right off. As does the misuse of 'v' where there should be a 'th' ... 'Roverham' for example.

Bath as in hath not hearth
Scone as in gone (with dried fruits OR cheese)
And you southerners haven't mangled English, you've mangled the French you spoke when you paddled across the Channel 1,000 years ago(ish)

You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.
