Ah li' t' translator.

NO! It won't translate back. I'll have to stare at the words until they start to make sense...

tha's rait lass = your right/correct young lady

I was pretty close there...after a couple of minutes looking at it.

it is a fact, that there are more variations of the Yorkshire dialect than anywhere in the country. I could go 20 mile away and not understand a word spoken

or you could just wait till about ten at night and ask anyone on the street

I have fond memories of being able to speak like thatunfortunately it doesn't happen now due to wallet having anorexia nerviosa (slimming disease)

There there

might not get you much....

thank you both for the kind thoughtsI'll be brave and be patient for better days to come
