Challenge: how to speak 'market trader yell'
The Groob Started conversation Jul 15, 2006
I was going to do 'schisms alienating the neo-platonist paradigm' but I think this has grabbed my attention for the moment. There may well be a name for 'market trader yell' or even a dialect-convertor.
The sort of thing I mean:
Two pander carrar ere ay eeeeee = two pounds of carrots here ladies
Four stordaa paaaan! = four strawberries for a pound
and of course, any rag-or-lumber man is also proficient in MTL:
any arder lurrar!? = any old rags or lumber?
Maybe there is a system to convert any sentence into MTL:
Ayeee seenar toobraaaar luuuur? = have you seen my toothbrush love?

MTL should be 'MTY' btw 
I just realised that anyone outside of UK probably won't have a clue what this is about.

Was it The Two Ronnies who did the old Evening Standard joke, with the middle-class twit trying to teach the paper-seller how to pronounce the name of his paper properly, only to be sold a copy of the 'Eevern Stannart'?

It was Morecambe and Wise, and the newspaper was the 'Morny Stannit'

Bah - getting out is over-rated if you ask me...

There is only one thing worse than being Gosho, and that is not being Gosho Posted Jul 15, 2006
Reckon I should get out more in that case - I knew about 'Morny Stannit' too

Have you ever walked around Moore Street and the surrounding area of Dublin? MTY is known beyond the UK, y'know!
