Speaker Rodney Hallam - Laughter from Lancashire

Wed, Jun 27th 2018 at 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Rodney gave us a view of Yorkshire as seen by a Lancastrian. -------------- Speaker Finder John Waterhouse, Visitor's Host, Grace & Banners Gerald Sanderson, Cash Desk Keith Howard

Rodney started off by comparing various Yorkshire words with their Lancashire equivalent such as Snicket in Yorkshire and Ginnel in Lancashire or a Mash of tea as opposed to a Brew in Lancashire.

He then went on to explain some items that had confused him when first emigrating to Gods own country: -

Having a cake with fish & chips

The pronunciation of Slaithwaite - "Sloughit"

I'll bray thee - I will give you a good thumping

He then recited a couple of Edgar Marriott monologues as performed by Stanley Holloway - "The Jubilee Sovereign" and "The Lion and Albert"

He finished off with a few Lancashire jokes.
