Have you got your teeth in properly ?

Or is it a speech impediment ?

You've dropped the first letter and added an ?a? to the end of each word? I can't be bothered to decipher it all now as lunch is about to be served and ma uta fa erea!

I doubt it, they could just speak Polish.

Interesting (for me) that I've read about it, heard spoken snippets on Radio 4, but never once heard a real person speak thus. And we had Thames stevedores in the family.

Thanks shorty,

I was only making the point that despite family connections with The River and the PLA I have never once heard this slang being used in real life.

My flatmate of long ago was fluent in "butchers' backslang". He used to pick up girls with it - they couldn't resist!

My father was fluent in a very similar conjugation of Greek used by rural bandits and rustlers at the turn of the last century.

Shorty,

It's the location of water tanks, street shelters, and designated basements I hope you're working on.

I didn't think you'd forgotten.
