Some days the drive to work really does set you up for a corking day. I took <A HREF="http://www.peak41.co.uk/photos/marsdengolfclub.jpg" REL="nofollow">this</A> last week going 'over the tops' to Meltham.Mike Higginbottomhttp://www.CoDoJo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34087247.post-1161558414336040022006-10-23T00:06:00.000+01:002006-10-23T00:06:00.000+01:00Ha - well remembered son. Except that time I was trespassing on a sewage farm and (for the benefit of other readers of this blog) "twitching" (searching for a reported rare bird) a Pectoral Sandpiper (and American wading bird blown seriously off course). The exact phrase from the sewage farm employee who intercepted me was (in broad Tyldesley) "Av yu cum f'ut Pectoral Sandpiper maht?". Yes, I had, and no, I didn't see it (I "dipped"). What amused me most about what he said was the perfect received pronunciation of the correct name for an obscure bird alongside almost incomprehensible dialect.Markhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03705810226080030207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34087247.post-1161544961444689142006-10-22T20:22:00.000+01:002006-10-22T20:22:00.000+01:00Parking like that, I'd expect some guy to pull up and enquire if you'd 'come for pectoral sandpiper?'!Tin Tinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00581165422656439838noreply@blogger.com
