Zak Dingle lives (or lived) on Todmorden road in Burnley.

Think the rough translation Dave is "How are you feeling" or how are you going on:D

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

Another good book is More Reflections of Yesterday (A collection of dialect Poetry) written and Illustrated by Edna Baron

Dave.
It should have been written Eharti fettlin.
How are you feeling.
Eharti blowin, is the same.
Him as said it were malarkin abeaut.

Translation :- I don't need a book, anyway those who write them cannot talk right themselves.

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

Thanks to all who've supplied translations, like I said the gist of it I can get, but then someone will come up with something or other that really gets me totally bemused & bewildered :)

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

it is going to happen as there are lots of versions of the dialect...depending on where you were 'browt up'.

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

I agree - but would have said 'fetched up'

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

that illustrates my point exactly...and that would be 'fotched up' :)

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

In de pool, we woz brung up proper like !

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

Should have put fotched up, but
in my case I wur punced up.

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

Tell me how you want it to work then and I will have a go at making it not too confusing :D

Re: Come again ? or what does that mean !
 

What DaveinGermany doesn't realize is that at one time Accrington, Blackburn and Burnley all had different accents (easily recognizable if you were local), so I'm thinking someone talking Lancashire dialect from say Burnley would sound a bit different from someone from Blackburn (Blegburn)
