I had a good laugh at that one.;)


Personally I am confused of Lincolnshire. I dont know what I am any more! My forebears came from Sunderland, I was born within the sound of Bow Bells, I lived mostly in the Home Counties until emigrating to Lincolnshire.
I am almost accepted as local.......It will probably only take another decade or three.

I have been trying hard to learn the local language. I know FEW is now FOO and MYSELF is now ME SEN.

People say we are not up North but East Midlands yet we are on a line with Liverpool which is classed as a Northern City.

I must write to DEAR MARJ for some counselling. :wh

John , I'm very familiar with "foo" knowing many lincolnshire anglers over the years, it's very pertinent as there are times when they are most reticent to utter as much as a syllable !
