HaleStorm Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I vote the next video should be recorded in Sheffieldish, there will probably only be 2 or 3 of us that will understand...but its a "made in sheffield" thing
VeryPC Posted December 9, 2013 Author Posted December 9, 2013 Brilliant video - glad time sorted itself out.... Can we have a tour of the tree next time as I couldn't see my photoboothed, santa hatted selfie on there! Ta We have a little pile of as yet unscissored MADvent decorations waiting to be prepared for the tree, but this December refuses to calm down and go quiet enough for us to get around to it. Don't worry, I'll make sure they're up tomorrow. Al

Ian McMillan goes on a quest to find one of Britain's strangest linguistic features. Somewhere between Sheffield and Chesterfield, people stop saying house and say something that sounds a lot more like 'arse. It's an isogloss, a kind of linguistic boundary line where accent and dialect changes. Ian calls it the house / arse interface, and with his friend the musician Ray Hearne and linguist Kate Burland in tow, he sets out to track it down. But can it really be as simple as crossing a line on a map?[/Quote] Genius. Still available to listen online.

clareq Posted December 9, 2013 Posted December 9, 2013 I vote the next video should be recorded in Sheffieldish, there will probably only be 2 or 3 of us that will understand...but its a "made in sheffield" thing My Dutch son-in-law now lives in Sheffield, and has incorporated a number of Sheffield/yorkshire sayings into his speech. I have never heard anything funnier that "I'm right chuffed about that" said in a Dutch accent.

I have never heard anything funnier that "I'm right chuffed about that" said in a Dutch accent. It goes to prove how quickly colloquial sayings are picked up It also sounds similar to how the Chinese university students start to speak, as they pick up sheffield-ish whilst learning english, being asked "excuse me love where is..." in a strong chinese accent nearly made me cry with laughter.

sonofsanta Posted December 10, 2013 Posted December 10, 2013 Oh? Is he giving away free stuff too? Well voting for him ends at 12:00, and the video of free stuff here normally appears just after 12:00, so we can hang around there for now just in case then come back here in time for chocolates and biscuits
