Joy, please tell us what a Parmo is. I have often seen Stray refer to it, but don't know what it is. |

Each area has their own peculiar pronunciation but a few weeks ago on the One Show there was a piece about an Essex school ( I think Basildon,) they had to give the children elocution lessons because they really thought that a word such as think was written 'fink'. Because they were unable to speak basic English, it followed that they couldn't recognise the written word because it was so alien to their spoken English. |

Janet, If you go to Barnsley south Yorkshire you will still hear plenty of the older generation talk in this way, |
