people who say snow is pitching. Pitch is black stuff, snow is white. I say the snow is laying NOT pitching. From a confused, very confused, Trish. |

To pitch is also 'to fall' - as in 'pitching forward' etc. - so guess that's where it comes from! I got laughed at once for saying it was 'pouring with snow' - so what else does it do?? Mags xx |

It's a Bristol thing and it should be 'Pitchen' Take a look at this www.thatbebristle*co.uk then you can learn how to speak proper !!! |

Esta, I married a Bristolian and am still trying to get him to talk proper like what I do after 20 years!!! Didn't understand a word of what his parents were saying for a good few months, even when they just said hello. It was something like 'howzbe'. LOL |

Trish Something my Dad used to say when one of us was having a temper tantrum - 'There she goes pitching a fit again.' Also as in Rounders - Man who throws the ball is called 'The Pitcher' Joy |

Thanks for the offer Trish, but Bec has just landed a snowball, as big as a house, right on my head. It is now melting down my back. Lol Oh well virtual snowballing is nearly as good as the real thing. Kim |
