Dialect Words And More
Canny lass! When he says hotel,it's sounds like the o is missing its hard to explain you probably need to here him say it. Sometimes he takes the mikey out of my accent,all in good jest, I give him it back though I'll try to explain he says it really fast Typical toony.its like hot-el but he says it fast as the o becomes shortened hope that makes sense. Remember my grannie Would say polace instead of the police & she used to roll her r's as though she was trying to bring phlegm up she did make me Laugh

My mate from Gosforth insists it is dialect,what he said its pit yakka talk I agree with him on this one. As I can tell his a toony by the way he speaks if I spelt it as hotel in your mind that is the way it would come out in your Reading that's why I spelt it as hoe-tel as you know that is not the correct way to spell it."so it comes out as dialect". I have read the Geordie dictionary,that gives you the Pharases in Geordie then the meaning in English ??????

Maggie no no no it's about dialect that's what I said to them,would you like me to say hotel in a nice cockney accent or would that sound posh to you, most cockneys are working class people they just speak funny I've had loads of arguments with northern m.ps about this & they have apologised.....

Political Correctness
That's true..when anybody in London asks me what part of newcastle I'm from & straight away I say to them! I'm not a toony,am from Bedlington ...Big difference it's like me telling somebody down here there from North London,when they live in South London... Different. Kind of people with different accents....

Political Correctness
"Maggie"! You've got to remember its a movie there for entertainment , Jimmy Grailton was a man who came back to support The Irish in its War against the uk. If he was a communist fair comment but when he got deported back to the USA it was only the IRA who kicked up a fuss & the town where he lived.Have you read George Orwell's animal farm? That's a realistic view on Communism & he declared himself as a democratic socialist,Maggie! By the way I haven't seen the film,maybe it's a good view.....

Political Correctness
Don't quote john Lennon he was a dreamer,my mother was an active member of the communist party even getting the Morning Star delivered I told her she was a dreamer,"But,they didn't hurt anybody so I suppose it's alright to dream"! Cos they didn't hurt anybody ..

"Maggie"! When would you use aggression?life is not like that in theory, just look at the despots in the past Tony Blair,George Bush the list goes on & the sad thing is people get sucked into there views & think aggression Is the way forward..Aggression can be good if it's done for the right reasons,but not because of media garbage... & Political garbage put forward to satisfy there means????

Political Correctness
"Maggie"! Democracy is a good thing,on a percentage it takes two fractions that disagree with each other that causes the violence Without trying to have a democratic solution put to them.even the E.U & NATO can't decide issues when they disagree with each other That's why innocent people get hurt,religion I'm afraid is full of prejudice even now just look at the Scots...I honestly think health & safety is a good thing! If you look in the past look at the people who lost limbs in the mines before H & S was legislation.They would have shut the mines not thatcher & would have taken the coal board to court & would have found them accountable for you & you fellow workers

Political Correctness
The Germans were our enemy in 1945 Political correctness stops people been abusive ????L Heath & safety can be overkill at times,but it does stop numpties getting hurt & put silly claims in saying it wasn't There fault,"opps political correctness ". I think anybody should be able to express an opinion,but it has to be done in a way that doesn't hurt An individual the point of bullying .then it can become offensive. Everybody be nice to each other..... By the way I'm union secretary for 300 men & women where I work & you have to try & use political correctness To try & save jobs when there about to get sacked,sometimes you feel like murdering the managers... But then again they have to be politically correct .....
