Helloeee? Any other Janners out there?...

[groovygranny]

Coooeee! Please tell me I'm not the only Janner southwest of Bristol and Exeter here ?! [:O] Does nobody want to venture onto the A38 (we even have tarmac!) for adventure, excitement and the sharing of life ??

If that's the case I'm gonna have to gatecrash somebody else's meet-up (as long as there will be oggies and clotted cream !!) cos it's awful lonely down here all by myself, with nobody with me .........all alone !!

lotsa luv

GG [:P]

Hello ness, pippa, denise..... and darkangel and gareth (two honourary Janners cos they posted here!)

Here is an extract from that 'Wickedpaedia' thingy:

"Janner has an origin as a slang term referring to any English person born within ten miles of the sea. More specifically "Janner is to Plymouth, as Scouse is to Liverpool".

"Janner" is used as both noun and adjective, describing the accent and colloquialisms used by the people of Plymouth, in South-West Devon, United Kingdom. For example:

* "Yurtiz" translates to "Here it is".
* "Ginormous, innum?" translates to "Very large, aren't they?"

However, with the changes in the local economy in Plymouth over the course of the 1980s and 1990s, from the Royal Navy being the major employer to being a university city housing a large number of students from outside the city, the term has developed an additional secondary pejorative sense describing the city's lower classes/chavs. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS statement... IT IS 'SO NOT TRUE, DO I LOOK BOVVERED?'

This leads to the term being used both pejoratively and normally by self-identification by all social classes within Plymouth. "

This:
So, me 'ansomes, oim verry 'appy to maek yer aquaentence in oim verry pleesed to meet 'e !!

Roughly translates as so:
So, my dears, I'm very happy to make your aquaintence and I am very pleased to meet you !


Sooo glad I'm not the only oggie-muncher here lol !!

lotsa luv

GG [:P]
