5.0 out of 5 stars lovely book for those you've moved away, 16 May 2003
The main thing I have left from growing up in Heanor in South
derbyshire is my (some would say broad) local accent.

This book is a wonderfully humorous and affectionate look at
something I hold dear, and has some surprisingly scholarly
discussions of the local drawl next to the funnies.

A must for those who like me no longer live in the area for
when you feel homesick, also just about passes muster as a translation guide :-)

4.0 out of 5 stars Grand!, 8 Sep 2003
By Mr. D. K. Johnson "Thehumbleram" (nottingham, nottinghamshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being brought up in a mining community on the Notts/Derbys border its refreshing to read my heritage in print......indeed one thing that Thatcher couldn't destroy. A wonderful little book with words and phrases I had not heard since childhood. With the advent of political regionalisation these sort of books ought to be a must in educational establishments to remind children the origins of their fathers, mothers and grandparents dialect. The sort of book you hold for life.

3.0 out of 5 stars A guide to Derbyshire dialect, 6 Aug 2001
By A Customer
If you're mystified by the meaning of words like "jitty" and "sucker", and if you're not sure whether you're being insulted or complimented when you're called "bonny" or told that your tea tastes like "mazziwatter", then you need this book.

"Ey up Mi Duck" is a short book of definitions of Derbyshire dialect words, especially as used in the south Derbyshire town of Ilkeston.
