Hiya,
GOM , Long term relationships like yours are as rare as chicken’s teeth
in this day and age, I’ve been with this un’ for 45 years but did have a
couple of failures before I hit the jackpot. I blame being a tramper for
a lot of it never being at home me loving it, her hating it, but in those
far off days paying your way was what it was all about, I suppose If I’d
returned to mining my first job from school I might have been able to
have rescued my first marriage, home every day after freedom of the
road ( and it was in those far off days ) wasn’t for me I returned after
one trip “gone” so starte’th a new chapter Ah’ well I eventually found
the one I’ve got now and I haven’t had to crack the whip once.
thanks harry, long retired.

Hiya,
Bloody Hell Larry, that’s a posh garden shed what with fancy blinds
and a polished chebble for a workbench I can’t open my shed door
everything tumbles out and it takes me an hour to put stuff back
so’s I can get the bleedin door shut, and I can never remember why
or what I went down there for anyway.
thanks harry, long retired.

I’m with you Harry, can’t get in the shed for “stuff I might need in the future” !! But there is an excuse for Larry, he does live in Ponteland, 
there’s a lot of “Hyacinth Bucket syndrome” around. Ps. The chinstrap on the battle bowler is nice and tight .

By the way Harry, your grasp of the venacular is outstanding!! ‘Chebble’ it’s a wonderful word.
Did you ever consider a career in Engish Language?? 
regards Kev.
Worth a try, GOM. Hope it’s available nationally as my passport’s run out and I don’t fancy chancing my luck with the border guards on the M1.
Tell you what, I wouldn’t fancy my chances with those border guard wimmin…they’re big.

Hiya,
Aye Kev our lasses dad always referred to the table as the chebble I was
assured that it was an old Geordie word and widely used when he was a
lad, now whether I’ve used the correct Geordie dialect spelling or not is
another matter but his use of the word always tickled me, RIP George.
thanks harry, long retired.

I don’t think anyone will quibble about the spelling “H”, although I’m sure the West ■■■■■■■■ sheep worrier correspondent will have a comment to make about our dialect.
Regards Kev.
I wouldn’t worry too much about him, Kev, he knows nowt. I even had to trek up there to put him and his lads through one of my Overpriced Roping & Sheeting courses!
FOR WHICH I STILL HAVEN’T BEEN PAID.
Hiya,
I can recall George the Missus’s dad telling his grandkids to get yer elbers
off the chebble and sit up straight you can’t digest yer food sat like that.
Thanks harry, long retired.

As in all things dialect spelling does get a bit mangled but over here in “Gods Country” I think the “c” is replaced with a “T” and a “y” as in “Tyebble” I reckon Leyland 600 will confirm that this is the correct pronunciation in “dialect” terms ! I never realised they used tables in the N. East Cheers Bewick.
Question for the “Technicos” How can I post PDF downloads onto the TN site ? It dosen’t seem to let me ! Cheers Bewick.

Hiya,
Don’t get technical Dennis I hope someone can sort your problem, I can’t,
I was a lorry driver not a techniphobe and I can’t spell either, If it don’t
work hit it with the biggest hammer you can lift job sorted bit like size
ten boots being used as tyre pressure gauges “kick 90” my byuts’ were as
always within half a pound of the recommended PSI.
