A tip for sister Louise's next trip? But no flights to Belgium announced as yet, I'm afraid.

Hilarious!

Where are Louise's comments (and translation from Broad Yorkshire)?

I haven't been able to see it yet (damn Firefox

) I'll have to go into IE and try it from there.

You've got me really curious now.

Funny that, Louise, it did open in my Firefox! Perhaps he's better fed & groomed than yours..?

Pretty funny! Almost as bad as Delta.

I saw it with FF too. I don't have IE installed bscause it was constantly crashing.

With my FF it takes a while loading then comes up with "site not found, check the name and try again". Often I have to use IE instead.

Ah-cud eet a'scabby-donkey tween tu Bre't-Vans

Lot's of colloquialism's in the dialect of people from Yorkshire. One of my wifes' sisters married a Yorkshireman and they came to live with us for a while in New Jesrey. I had a bit of trouble understanding him at first.

The above phrase "translated" to English:

I could eat a diseased donkey between two Bread Vans as a sandwich.

"Eet" in many parts of Yorkshire is "eyt" - the same pronunciation as "eight".

As someone who has grown up around the Yorkshire dialect I would be more than happy to translate the terminology into English. And the word we use for sandwich is "buttie".

But the "ah cud" is correct, though the two words do not need to be joined.
