Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Hmm...I was just briefly looking at a tv show. It's called 'What would your kid do'. I imagine some of you must be aquainted with it. Now-the compare,Jason Manford,is good,a comedian of some worth-BUT-the 'kid' bit just sticks in my gullet. I saw a bit of some shouty gonk named Jeremy Kyle recently...and omg [he said,in his best 'text speak'] the bloke must've said 'kid' around 30 times in just the ten minutes I watched him. I'd like to know,seriously;is it JUST me,or does this inability to say the word 'child' get on anyone elses ti...er...nerves? I also noticed that a HUGE number of 'celebrities' seem TOTALLY unable to pronounce the letter 't' whenever they speak. Pronouncing words such as ''butter'' as ''Buh-er''. DASHED annoying,to my poor,overworked [and extremely lonely] braincell.
So I was just wondering if I'm alone in this dislike of what amounts to no more than laziness regarding pronounciation;especially considering these people are televised as they say things like "I goh-a noo ta-oo...it was WELL cheap,'ardly nuffink!". PLEASE tell me I'm not alone in my dislike of this laziness?

Must be all the texting they’re doing now Pug, shorthand for the masses, used to be only the posh office birds knew shorthand.
God be with the days when the old BBC front men/women spoke perfect English “And now we present “Come Dawnsing” and for the car enthusiast “My Gar rarge” with Reginald Hamilton Pennysworth.
Ever hear a posh woman saying “Putty”? the "U" vanishes and it becomes "Patty" How about an American saying the "B....x word, Bruce Willis tried it in one of his die hard films, very funny they just can't get it right. probably why they prefer the "F" word and use it so often in Hollywood films today.

Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)

Bless you and your knowledge of technology Sweetie, thank you.

Here’s the piece to accompany the song, Gumbud may have heard of Seth Davy.

Seth Davy, sometimes spelled Seth Davey, was a black street entertainer who worked in Liverpool, England, at the turn of the 20th century, and was immortalised in the folk song "Whiskey on a Sunday".
Little is known of Davy outside of the lyrics of the song, which themselves have been varied over the years, with his location sometimes even changed to Dublin (Beggar's Bush) or London (Shepherd's Bush) from the original Bevington Bush in Liverpool. No one is recorded in public records with the precise name of Seth Davy. This vagueness had led to the assumption that the character was imaginary, although many Liverpudlians claimed to have seen him in person.
But Seth Davy certainly existed. Fritz Spiegl possessed a lantern slide clearly showing a poor black street entertainer with three jig dolls at Bevington Bush, surrounded by children. Popular belief is that Seth Davy was West Indian, possibly Jamaican, though Ray Costello in his Black History, a history of Liverpool's black population, says that he was West African. Planters from Devon, England are known to have introduced the surname Davy into Jamaica. The existence of the Davy surname amongst black Jamaicans supports the belief that Seth Davy was from Jamaica.[1]
Davy sang 'Massa is a stingy man', from the repertoire of Dan Emmett, one of the stars of American minstrelsy, which contains the lines:
"Sing come day, go day
God send Sunday
We'll drink whiskey all de week
And buttermilk on Sunday'" Wiki.

Fascinating Jem.
Like Molly Malone, I always knew the song, but, had no idea she was fictional. Love the bronze statue.
