    Turning into your Grampy

    Daps great word, there were many others peculiar to West Wales but most of them have slipped my mind.

    It is amazing that when you back you seem to automatically slip into that way of speaking.

    The use of like and things like Jones the Post, and my favourite Dai the Skip.

      The undertaker in Porthcawl in was called Thomas the Box.

        Turning into your Grampy

        Unfortunatlely I didn't get to know any of my grandfathers, but I see myself turning into one nonetheless. It manifests itself in a growing intolerance towards inconsiderate, rude or vulgar people.

        I'm also increasingly appalled by linguistic aberrations like the evil spread of California speech and accent and the proliferation of noveau-riche neologisms in my native Spanish replacing perfectly good words that morons tends to avoid because they remiond them of their parents.
