IS IT A VALLEY THING

Fri Mar 26, 2010 11:39 am

My wife always plays f**k with me when i say Witherspoons rather than Wetherspoons, but I've noticed that most of us up here say it the same.

Then this morning I said something about Tenby, but when I say it, it comes out as Temby and I just realised I've called it Temby all my life, why the f**k is that.

And don't get my started on Irwin or Hirwaun as Valley outsiders would pronounce it.

And the other thing I've noticed is Jack b*stard, whenever i say it, it comes out as Jack b*stard, only brought that one up, coz I lik the sound of it. 8-)

:lol: I been chuckleing away to myself because of Temby, I dont know why but I always say it as that. Weird ennit and it maybe spelt as Wetherspoons but its Wither, words can be complicated but us jibbers know what we mean.

"Who's coats that jacket" is a valid question as is "what time's the 10 o'clock bus"

They are both tidy questons that deserve tidy answers such as:
"It's mine by ya butt" and "bout quater past I think love" :-)

Working in customer service as I do and dealing with people from the valleys on a regular basis, I've noticed some traits of the valleys folk and the way they speak.

"Where you to?"
"Hello, it's John it is. What it is..."

These are just 2 and I can't think of others. But I still say hostipal instead of hospital

Hahaha, I always say that! My ex-housemate who was from Blackpool used to have a go at me because he'd say 'how long are you going to be?' and I'd say 'I'll be there now' and he'd say 'but you're not here now so you won't be!'.

Also, a lot of valleys people say amblumance rather than ambulance!

Mine can't be a Valley thing as I hail from across the bridge :oops: however

Walking down to the match on Wednesday, bloke asked me for directions to the stadium outside Central Station, in my head I was thinking should I tell him the slightly longer but simpler way down Ninian Park Road, or direct him through the shorter route through Grangetown. So I said "Do you know where you're going?"

Unsurprisingly he said "No" :lol:
