    3. I have to agree Viki. I live in Queensland, have family members in Sydney, friends in Perth and lived for a time in Darwin. In each place there are distinctive linguistic variations. As you say, with an 'ear for languages' it is not difficult to tell roughly where people originate in Oz. When I get together with my brother in law from Sydney we spend quite a bit of time taking the mickey out of the way each other speaks. Mind you, there is usually beer involved which may influence the outcome somewhat. As for New Zealand.....only 4 million people but those from the south sound completely different to those from the north. Simply explained though. The south of the South Island was settled to a large extent by Scots and to this day people from Invercargill, Gore and thereabouts still 'roll there R's.'

    2. Seamus
    3. To all those people that sent me information, regarding The Manchester Co-operative (CWS) Brass Band. My most grateful appreciation. Interest in brass bands was revitalised about 3 years ago. With the showing of the tele-movie "Brassed Off." Staring Peter Entwhistle & "The Grimesthorpe Colliery Band." As a young boy. I was taught to play the 'spoons & bones'. That was the limit of my musical talent. I have since forgotten how to do that. Non-the-less I do appreciate music as it should be played.

    2. Edna & Ken
    3. Hi, Just learned something else today. Re my Mormon clan -- I've been receiving parts of a Diary from a gene-pal who is gleaning these from letters from some of the people emigrating from Lvp>NYC>Utah, and they detail the voyage and travels across America in the 1870s -- all very interesting. I receive one or two of the entries periodically from this lady, who has the Mormon disk. I have approx. 8 pages putting them into my Notes. Then I couldn't go any further. I was block/pasting the diary into my Notes. Suddenly I just could not get them in there. I was stuck. Went onto GenForum to ask why. Before long received a message that Notes only take some 32,000 characters or 8 pages. What I have to do now is make up a Chapter in my Book for this family and insert the diary there. Actually these are the longest Notes I've had so far. Thought you might find it helpful to know that. Cheers, Edna - Ottawa

    1. [HantsLife] HAMPSHIRE NEWS - in days gone by
    2. Chris & Caroline
    3. The following are extracts from the Hampshire Chronicle we thought might interest some of you. Len - please note Alresford's FIRST Royal Visit!!!! Chris and Caroline 25 DECEMBER 1852 Braishfield - During the week, an inquest was taken by Mr Todd, county coroner, on the body of Ann White, aged 65, who fell down dead while in conversation with her brother, who had just come a long distance to see her. Verdict: Visitation of God. 27 DECEMBER 1952 Alresford - An accident occurred on the Winchester road, near Ladycroft, when a runaway horse overtook a tanker and crashed into a van belonging to the Winchester Rural District Council. The animal. owned by Captain J Drinkwater, of Wield, was injured and was attended by Mr Curtis until it was fit to return to its owner. 3 JANUARY1803 Winchester - This week was committed to the County Gaol, a young man of the name of Bond, for stealing a horse at Owslebury, near this city. He was taken at Chichester on Saturday last, where he sold the horse much under his value, and which led to the suspicion that he was stolen. Lymington - Friday evening, John Ware, who had plied the passage boat from Lymington for many years past, (by some accident as he was mooring the boat for the night) unfortunately fell overboard. He was taken up a short time afterwards and every effort was made to recover him, but life was no more! 1 JANUARY 1853 Southampton - Last Sunday night, a most furious gale commenced blowing here, and lasted until noon on Monday. It was at its height about two o'clock on that morning. Southampton Water was then one mass of foam. Houses above 100 feet from the quay were covered with the spray of the waves. About 20 boats were sunk, many knocked to pieces. A Southampton waterman named Perkins, an industrious man, lost a large sailing boat, worth £40. Nearly all the large craft in the river went adrift. A large brig, called the Alacrity, at the town quay, broke adrift, and knocked down the pier toll house, and did considerable damage to the pier and quay wall. The brig was much damaged. Two large French potato vessels were sunk near the quay. Each cargo was worth nearly £300. In the docks, the monster West India steamer, Orinoco, broke adrift, and Capt. Peacock, the dock master, Capt. Barton, the West India superintendent, and Capt. Hast, the commander of the Orinoco, had to be called up, and to get all the men possible to secure her. Wickham - During the past month, the poor of this village have been kindly provided with large quantities of warm clothing, blankets, &c. to the amount of nearly £100, the munificent gift of Miss Garnier, which has been continued annually, in addition to numerous other acts of benevolence, meriting the warmest gratitude of the numerous recipients of her bounty. Saturday, January 3, 1903 Winchester - At about 3.30 yesterday (Friday) afternoon, Edward Smith, of Wales-street, a coachman, was driving a chestnut gelding attached to a four-wheel dog cart, in Southgate-road, and when turning the animal near Dr Scott's house, it commenced kicking and bolted towards the High Street. The man in charge did his best to pull the horse up and prevent any mishap, but, going at a stretch gallop of about eventually happened, the man, with commendable forethought, got over the seat and dropped from the back of the cart into the road. He injured his right hand, but fortunately escaped without being seriously hurt. The horse continued its career into and across the High-street, and on to the pavement, where it suddenly swerved round, causing the side of the dog-cart to dash against the plate-glass window of Mr. Frank East's shop, which was, of course, smashed. At the same time, the vehicle struck Miss Annie Knight, a servant employed at Mayfield, Christ Church-road, who was knocked against the window frame, and sustained some nasty cuts to her face and forehead, which came into contact with the broken glass. Her condition was such that she was removed to the County Hospital, where she was detained. A man standing by was also struck. The cart then collided with the framework of the window, breaking that portion of the glass which faces Jewry-street, and one of the wheels then collapsed. With the dog-cart on three wheels the horse raced down the High-street, and did not receive a check until it was about opposite the Mercantile Stores, despite the traffic in the street. At the spot mentioned, two other vehicles were collided with, but were not much damaged, and the undercarriage of the dog-cart then giving way, the body fell to the ground, and the horse was eventually secured before further damage was done. The wreck of the cart was taken by the police to the City Arms yard, and the horse does not appear to have sustained any serious injury. Fortunately, Miss Knight is making satisfactory progress. 2OO3 Alresford's royal appointment Plans are well in hand for the first royal visit to Alresford in living memory The Princess Royal will open Winchester City Council's newly-completed Makins Court housing scheme on January 24th. 2003 She will meet local residents in both the sheltered flats and the bungalows before taking tea with residents and invited guests. The first phase of the flagship project began in 2000 and provided 16 elderly persons' flats, a scheme manager's house and communal facilities. Wheelchair-friendly, all of the flats are self-contained and the scheme incorporates a lounge, dining room, kitchen and communal facilities such as a guest suite and laundry, with space for an assisted bathroom, if needed. The 12 one and two-bedroom bungalows, which are owned by Eastleigh Housing Association, were completed last summer. "The scheme has cost Winchester City Council and Eastleigh Housing Association in excess of £3m," said the city's head of contracts and property services, Clive Broomfield, "Makins Court is not just a flagship development for the council, but a great asset for the local community." --- All of our Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    3. Hi there, Gaelic is the language of the Highland Scots, derived from the Norse languages. Unfortunately, in all but the islands and the Highlands and more isolated places of Scotland, it is rarely spoken today. It is a beautiful soft lilting language until you hear someone who is angry. Then the words spit like a machine gun. I know, I have a friend who when she is cross lapses into her native languagae of Gaelic - and I run. Yours Vicki

You forget that Welsh is an official language in both England and Wales.( It was after all spoken in England long before English was even existed). If you live in England, you can ask for any official form etc in Welsh if you so wish !!! Hence presumably the Royal Mail's dual language tag line.
