Monkeys Fist

My Grandfather(paternal) was a miner from Washington. My Dad has an audio cassette recorded in the early 70s of him bollocking me and my brother for not eating our tea when I was about 5. He spoke with the strongest Pitmatic dialect going, full of "Thee, Thew and Thou",my Mam struggled to understand him. What's curious is that on the tape, both me and my brother clearly understand every word he says, however , listening to it now I can barely understand him.

fluent Burble-ese.

This is a topic I find fascinating( and the related one of place name origins). Sure I heard/read somewhere that our dialect/language is the closest to Old English as it was spoken. The area is riddled with "-ingtons, and -ingworths", all meaning the same thing e.g. Killingworth- kill= Killa( name of chieftain/leader) ing= people of worth/ton= village or settlement so Killingworth is the village of Killa's people, Also in the Lakes, the name Thwaite is prevalent, meaning the same- settlement. I think in the Lakes it comes from Norse, whereas Ashington etc is Saxon anyone more ITK please correct me

Duck.

Don't forget to have the Ho's money. Happy hunting
