[Afamilyatwar-list] Raise Your Hands High....

[Christine Kendell]

Just to confuse matters, "anyroad" sometimes becomes "anyroad up" in
Birmingham.

A couple of hints that might be helpful to viewers of SAM and other
"Northern" productions:

 

The word "happen" can be used as a synonym for "perhaps," as . . .

Happen she will scrub the muck off her husband's back before they sit down
to dinner.

 

The word "anyroad" can be used as a synonym for "anyway," as . . .

Stop by anyroad, even if it's an hour or two past midnight.

 

These are two recurring idioms that I have noticed.

If you have difficulty understanding the Mancunian/Yorkshire/Liverpudlian
accents in some of the Granada/ITV dramas (which have no helpful subtitles).
Raise them high because I'm over here in the U.S. and will have trouble
seeing you, so make a real effort! 

 

Those born in or residing in the North are excused from this exercise. Be
off now!
