Thanks for the lessons in how to spake propa. Did everyone in the Black Country speak like this? When? Obviously some people are still fluent in this lingo! I have looked at the t-shirt page and understood some of them. I thought I had a website bookmarked with a BC dictionary, but I can't find it. Do you have any suggestions? No, I'm not from round ere. I'm 8-9 time zones to your west in California. It's no wonder that I can't spake propa! Brenda In a message dated 9/5/2009 9:53:44 A.M.
