N.B. @woodbutchmaster - by origin, I'm half Belgian, a quarter Polish and a quarter German, all cultures decidedly more epicurean than that of the folks in this neck of deepest, darkest East Anglia.

I used to live in Norfolk so l understand what you are saying. When l moved to Norwich from London a good few years ago l went to work for an advertising agency based in Norwich. I won't forget the occasion when they took me for dinner to a local restaurant where the person taking my order pronounced ratatouille as ratty ole y . l kid you not

How come they pronounce Wisbech as Wisbech ?

Morning .
I can't quite figure out what the weather is doing at the moment . It seems to be brightening up! It was grey earlier .

For similar a similar reason that when someone asks how you are, it sounds like "now then , ow yuh a'doin mee'at" to which you should answer "or, roit, how's ur sen"

I need some hot stuff

Dry and perhaps going to be sunny.
Got wakened at 5.30 by a text on my phone telling me MV Coruisk has broken down. They will tell us at 9 o'clock if the 10 o'clock is going to be sailing. Not much use if you are 21 miles away and have 30 minutes to get there in the face of oncoming tourists off the MV Isle of Mull.
The joys of island life.

@tyred, did you ever consider the fact that due to an Irish mile being longer than an English mile, your ride distances may be wrong?

2240 yards as opposed to 1760 yards.

I measure my rides in inches as the numbers sound more impressive

How come opticians or even K Tel don't sell rose tinted spectacles ?
I just looked at our back lawn and thought . "Oh that needs cutting ". But wearing my rose tinted ones it looks just fine !
I think I will go on Dragons Den. If the judges thought my idea was rubbish I would just hand them pairs to try out !

A whole day off work.

When I were a lad, many moons ago, a mate and I hired a houseboat for a weeks fishing on the Norfolk Broads.
One day, we caught the omnibus into Norwich. When heading home, we asked the driver where the bus stop for Brampton was...
On we got, only the end up in Bramerton 20 miles away from the houseboat. The next bus wasn't for 2 days!..... Oh, how we laughed at his local pronunciation of the two villages

 

[biggs682]

Bring it back

 

[Andy in Germany]

We actually appear to have some sunshine.
I may still take the train tonight though as it's been a tough week physically and I'm not really up for fighting yet another headwind...

 

[Illaveago]

I've just put the washing on !
No ! I don't mean that! I mean that I have put the washing in the machine .
