Hi Glenda, Scouse, a nickname given to the people of the Mersey region as there, in Liverpool and Birkenhead, is the melting pot for all comers. Here the Irish settled and mad a stew, the Welsh settled and made "Lobscouse", a stew with everything thrown in, both cheap and easy to make and a great comfort food. hence the title "Scouser" = coming from that area where scouse is made. Bwyty, roughly pronounced boo it tu and meaning food as translated from the Welsh. You see, I'm not even a pretty face, and for those reading this, my nose is still big and sore (feels like someone is playing rugby up there, and yes, you can all call me a pachyderm!!! (vbg) From Bryan, The Wild Celt, Dum Spiro - Spero. ----- Original Message ----- From: Glenda R.

Hi Bry - don't want to teach the Welsh to speak their own Language (but I do really) but you forgot to tell Glenda that the U is pronounced i - giving bwyta its "butty" sound. Glenda - see what happens if you ask a question on this List - everyone answers! Marged | | | Bwyty, roughly pronounced boo it tu and meaning food as translated from the | Welsh. | |
