“Whare
shell we go this time?” say the gal June.
Oi
say ter har, less go somewhere we hent bin afore.
“Stick
yar pin in th’ow map an’ hope fer the best,”
Oi say.
“Hare
go then,” she say. “Cor, blast – Bulgaria!”
“Whare
the hell is that?” she say “Dun’t much fancy
that, the sea is black.”
“Blast,”
Oi say, “dun’t be such a duzzy fule, that ent black,
thass jist called that cors thass so bloomin’ deep that
look black when you look inter it.”
Part
from a bit of a conflopshun, when we got ter Luton, we got
thare orlright but, blast, wun’t that hot. Still, a few
grit ow glasses a’ bare sune cooled me down an’
wun’t that cheap an’ all.
Funny
ow lot them Bulgars. When they mean ‘noo’ they nod
their hids an’ when they mean ‘yis’ they shake
’em! Some
o’ the toime Oi din’t know if Oi wuz a-cummin’
or a-goin’.
We
dun a bit o’ sightseeing, visitin’ a winery –
hev yew noticed how this haarldy seem ter hev a liquid content?
That wuz good stuff an’ Oi wuz glad when Oi’d hed
enow.
We
went to a monastery an’ see a little ow boy a-beein’
christened. Th’ow parson wuz a-chantin’ an’
a-hollerin at the top o’ his voice, scarin’ the
little ow fella, an’ when they stripped the littlun orf
an’ dumped him in a grit ow tub he narely shruck the
plearce down. An’ they reckon we du diff’rent!
Dew
yew want enny cheap shats or dresses thass the plearce ter
go – cheaper than Primark, my missus reckon!
Funny
thing ’bout haarldys is yew allus meet someone who know
someone yew know, dorn’t yew? Yew allus hatta watch what
yew say an’ orl, dorn’t yew? Still, we’re hum
agin now, got things ter dew but Oi reckon she’ll be
a-gittin’ har pin out agin afore long an’ giving
th’ow map another poke.
Cheerio
tergether.
