Page 1 of 3 A dialect musing from Randle Hurley Ee’s some lovely to see ’ee. Commost on in an I’ll put on a nice dish of tay and we can have a sit down. Better now are ee? I was some worried when I heard about your heart attack. What! You never had no heart attack? What did ee ’ave then? Mrs Trembath who de live up ’longside of you, she told me you was up to Treliske, very bad, not ’spected to live and you was in the cardiac unit. Well, ’ess. I s’pose you could be in there for other things than heart attacks. What was the matter with ’ee then? Oh, that angina! My gar, they de say as how that de hurt some bad. Did uh come upon ’ee, all of a sudden like? Oh I see. Been creepin’ up gradual and getting’ worse lately. Well, you never said nothin’ so… No, I aren’t sayin’ as how you’re one to make a fuss. So, you was only in there for a bit of a chat like. Not even in intensive care. Oh ’ess, and a few investigations as well, so they can tell what sort of a operation you’re going to have. You aren’t goin’ to have no operation at all! No, I aren’t disappointed at all. I don’t want to put ’ee under the knife as you de say, just…well, you de want to get yer money’s worth out of the National Health, don’t ’ee? What are they goin’ to do for ’ee then? Just give ’ee some pills! What good a few pills goin’ to do? Oh, I see. Doin’ ’ee some lot of good already are they and you wain’t have to have no open heart surgery at all? Well that’s good news sure enough.  Picture by Andysnapz, andysnapz@tiscali.co.uk. I s’pose that was why I never seen ’ee at Mazey Day. That must have been while you was up to Treliske. I’m sorry I couldn’t come and see ’ee but it’s a bit more of a job, getting’ all the way to Truro, than when I scat me leg and you walked up the road to West Cornwall Hospital in Penzance. Still you’re ’ere now and I must say you’re lookin’ some well. Shame you missed Mazey Day though. The whole Golowan Festival was rich, like ’ee is every year. You knaw, I de like Mazey Day as much as I de like Christmas and you knaw how much I de love Christmas. The weather was ’ansome all day and carried on for Quay Day on the Sunday as well. |
