Ahhh, Mastodon.
As a result of recent chats on here I've been down an extensive rabbit hole about Yorkshire dialects (I am not from Yorkshire), then had to work out if I could still remember how to floss (dance, not dental care).
Excellent.
@eclectech ooh, contraction of either some that or some what. originating NE england, Yorks/Lancs. it's spread well :)
@eclectech brumwards, it's summit/summat depending in which way you're facing at the time. rural lincolnshire was summat.
now wondering on the linguistic root at play here
@alistaircoleman please come back, I missed the Trouser Watch and unfortunately for me I guess, I refuse to use another billionaire's site thx to previous experience...
Good morning Mastodon. I hope you're having a nice day.
In my head, when I saw the sign, this was very funny. I accept the possibility that it's only funny to me, but just in case...

Second lesson of the day.
If the teenager is with me when I say something grown-up like "the ben is looking very fine this morning" they will roll their eyes and say "so we'll be seeing that with googly eyes later then?"
Heh. I probably wouldn't have, due to previously mentioned lack of camera, but, you know... I wouldn't want to disappoint them.
Lesson for this morning: if the sun is out, take the camera.
Was lucky enough to have a beautiful walk, misty woods & rivers, rays of sun through the trees... glorious.
My phone is not up to the job. I could have spent an age on this tree alone.
Ah. Thinking about it that's why I don't take my camera all the time.
Damn, usually try to keep related stuff in a thread but forgot to reply to the earlier one.
The first that I'm referring to is here:
