Hi folks

met him a few times .....when my sister was doing famlie tree it turns out we could be cousins 6 times removed .

this was in the charts number one in 1965 SOME of my famlie still speaks in this slang .I FACT if i say light i say loight .Me and my sister call our selfs gals .I think middle suffolk speaks more of this slang ??

speaking about Norfolk /suffolk
