Hi Guys------P-Smurf, you've got to forget the Cornish and try a Brummy / W.Midlands verbal approach to get the answer---It's speaking about a past happening ---I think ??.........Loved the Bird Strike at 059 !!..........and the white car driver's total ignorance of your existance ..........and a stroppy dealer ( 'course he dropped it...bleeedin obvious !!)..........Ho-Hum, all in a day's ride-out, LoL !!

I wonder why I bother filling in the description. The answer is there, oh, and RB, it;s Black Country, not Brummie/West Mids! Now hang your head in shame (wink).

Hi Guys---------Chris, who's RB ??...........In my earlier days I was waiting at Edinburgh Station late one Sunday night to catch the local DMU service into Rosyth Docks, Scotland when a tall, Black man with Dreadlocks, Rainbow floppy hat et al approached me with a splif in his hand and said in a deep, dark, heavy voice}----"See you, Jimma !!....ha ye goorta leet ??".........Your eyes expect one accent but your ears hear something quite different !!...............Yes, I suppose I should have "Heard" the Black Country sound..........trouble for me is that I hail from Reading, Berks.( ie Dahrn sarf, innit mate ?? )....In my work days I've been closely involved with folk from many backgrounds and have spent the last 20 years here in Telford New Town trying to make sense of the various local Shropshire accents..........I think my ears have become somewhat jaded, alas..............Here's one for the inquisitive amongst you}------------

Ah yes---- I see what you mean.......Soon to be a name of the past as the "new" Drab Olive livery is gradually applied...
