Default OT - Pronunciation of words

Shelagh this is Hilarious hahahahhaha
When i was 11 , i came to visit Holland again , [ after going to
Israel at 6 ] .., Aunt sent me to shop to buy milk , she told me to
ask for ~`1/2 vol melk`, = 1/2 full milk
not having lived there for several years i forgot the meaning and
insisted that the man sells me only half a bottle not a full one !!!

Then there's always the Cockney "Orl right, Duck?" or a typically
Scots(possibly Glaswegian, right O?) "How're you, hen?" I feel like
quacking or clucking, but I really love the variety in our language.
Love Christine


Years ago when I was a kid, we were visiting close friends of my parents.
Lovely people, and she had the softest sweetest voice. I'll never forget
when she asked me

"Would you like a cuppa, ducks?" Of course, now I know what she was asking
me, but at 9 y/o, I thought she was asking me if I wanted a cup of
ducks..... tee hee.

And yes, even at that tender age, I had a "cuppa".

Matthew used to have some tea (mostly milk with a tiny bit of tea in it) in
his bottle when he was one. Of course most of the time he wanted "doose"
(juice)! hehehe
