Tung oil, a viable alternative to linseed?

[ADR147]

Slipped up there mate I'm a Wulfrunian.:P

close enough - same silly accent !!

[Wity]

ouch now that was below the belt.

I'll have you know that the black country accent is the purest english spoken today. and thats a fact. The Brumijum accent is a mere forgery.

[Wity]

So is my missus

Like good beer (Bonks's) good women never travel far do they?

Tamwuf's fer enuf ay it ahke ?

As far as York she made it, too far she sometimes thinks.. Though she often goes back home for a fix of the lingo. Banks's is a nice pint (I like the original mild).

Anyways going offtopic a bit there. Do you have to coat first with oil (linseed etc.) before coating with beeswax? Or can I just use beeswax like I've just been doing for the last 4 days?

try mixing the two into a paste over a bowl of water - like melting chocolate.

..and use still melted, or leave to harden and use like a paste with a cloth?

Oh, and 'fraid to say that sounds about right about the dialect. A lot of accents have been watered down through the ages. When you enter the west midlands you drive through a very heavy fog and time stands still. Furniture is made from old coffins and people have spiky teeth. Or was that a film I watched the other night..

[ADR147]

let cool and rub a pea sized bit in with your fingers then buff off the fingers should heat it enough.

nobody has ever driven THROUGH brimingham !! at least not since the middle ages.

Theres probably enough links there to prove the black country accent is the oldest English still going . I has been proven I kid you not. We are probably the only folk that could understand Shakespears accent if he were alive today and he spoke much as they did when the doomsday book was written.

[ADR147]

oldest maybe purest - no that would be a sad state of affairs!

Hi Wity,

.............WOW, and what a great dialect, it's like speaking/writing in your own code, really like the idea of this.....

This is my first attempt at a little bit of Black Country dialect too, and not sure which town this could be attributed to?........

"Ow do Wity,

Aer Bin Ya?

Ar bin loffin

Tarra a bit, Ticker xxx"

[Found some info on the bbc website for the joke below, plus looked at some Black Country dialect word listings too, and hope I've transcribed it correctly, probably mixed it all up now . [Your text and sentences seem to flow together alot easier than mine.] Interested though, which town/borough you think the wording for the joke maybe from, and also the greeting/salutation.

.......Aynuk says to Ayli: "What yow bin doin?"

.......Ayli replies: "I bin fishin in the cut"

.......Aynuk says: "Did yow catch anythink?"

.......Ayli replies: "Eye, I caught a whale"

.......Aynuk (astonished): "Yow caught a whale in the cut?"

.......Ayli replies: "Eye, a bicycle whale"......

And must admit, didn't realise that the Black Country has such heritage as well, plus is made up of 4 main boroughs: Dudley; Sandwell; Walsall; and Wolverhampton.

............and at work now, so I've had to rush a little, , but hope it makes some sense, and knowing me I've probably tranformed something quite simple and eloquent into 'double dutch'.

Lol....xx

yes but everyone in dudley came from jamaica in the 40's - so they all have different accents?

[Wity]

Ey up, looks like wiv gorra convert

You keep on reading Blondie get the accent down to pat and any time you like I'll take you on a tour of the black country that'll dazzle your eyes and leave you breathless. Followed by an evening culenery delight fit for a queen with entertainment of such high standard mere oscar winners can only dream off achieving. A day out you'll remember with tenderness forever I gaurentee.

i heard that a tour of the west country means you can't park anywhere or when you come back to your car its on bricks, has no wheels and the stereo is missing!
