Hi Folks

I wonder if you can understand this .This is real Norfolk slang and my Famlie speaks likes this .

My great Uncle talking to my Father ( sheringham fisherman )
My great Grandad is in sheringham books called Toshie Brown .
Named that ( too shy Brown )
Thy givt it tooo Pa he givt too me and i givt too bot ....

Means Great Uncle name was gave to his Father passed on to him and he named his boat the boy Toshie .

i can rembember this great uncle well .He used to live in a hut type shack in the summer on the beach full of sand .

I Really come from Suffolk here the slang changes too which part you come from .
North norfolk slang is dreadfull i hate to hear it .My Brother in law and nephews sister speak it .My sister has lived in North Norfolk since she was 16

Love it Chrissie!!

I came up here from London many years ago, and we had such fun listening to all the rural accents.............as did the locals when we talked our southern dialect!!! The whole pace of life was so much slower than in London then, and they say things like "I'll do that JUST NOW" which is a weird way of saying "I'll do it SOON!!!"Lxx
Always be aware that what you do might hurt others........and if it could, do nothing without careful consideration of the consequences
