You've got me worried now, Patsy.

I've just finished designing a Christmas card for my friends (who're like family to me) up in Sheffield and I've put this picture on the front of it:

Do you think I could be accused of patronising Northerners?

Lol! Where's me whippet?...

[Buenchico]

Actually they've recently adopted a greyhound, so there's a reason behind my choice of image.

The correct way to greet a Sheffielder isn't "Ey up!" anyway. That uses far too many syllables; the correct greeting is simply "Reet?" (I lived in that wonderful city for 20 years, so I'm fluent in the language!)

Lovely card that, Chris. Go down a bomb in the Black country if you could change the wippets to staffies.

[Buenchico]

Oh, double Tony on this thread - things could get confusing ;-)

[tonyav]

Thanks Chris, one of my favourites.

[Buenchico]

Merry Christmas to all in the Black Country then:

Reet, Merry Christmas Chris.

Scouse greeting - " Oo yer luckin at!"

[tonyav]

Reet, to reet Theland.

[Buenchico]

The correct greeting in these parts (Suffolk), Theland, is "Howyer garn?" but the one I prefer to hear is "Wotya dringkin, bor?" ;-)

[tonyav]

"Howyer garn?" , Very similar to Black country greetin that
Howyer gooin. I like Chris's second greeting better though.

Lol..Alroit Tone, Calm down calm down!....

Is it just down here in the SW that we greet everyone with 'Alright?' and reply with 'Alright?'

Sorry Chris, the proper way of greeting is oreeit, not reet. Tha didn't live up ere long enough, lad.
