Astbinmenbinmam? Avennyonyeranyonyer?
Flummoxed?
Don't worry - help is at hand.
This comical tongue-in-cheek guide to the Lancashire dialect and quaint customs in the form of a spoof phrasebook covering such topics as Eating Out;Down the Pub;Table Etiquette; Doctors; Insults; Shopping and hilariously quaint Lanky sayings, words and phrases will educate as well as make you laugh out loudly.
An alltime Lancashire classic since 1978, this book went on to be made into an EMI LP
It will bring back memories for older readers; put younger ones in touch with how their forebears spoke and bring enlightenment to those unfortunate enough not to be born in the Red Rose county.
The book is written by Dave Dutton - a Lancashire lad who has had 8 different parts in Coronation Street - and of whom no less than The Guardian said :" Mr. Dutton's mordant wit is a good match for his subject matter.
So don't just sit theer. Download it, make a cuppa, put thi feet up and have a reet good lowf!

Yes I am a `lanky` resident, born and bred. I laughed out loud at the quaint sayings which brought back so many memories. Strangely poignant to realise that nearly all of the aphorisms have gone, a casualty of the proliferation of TV stations and instant news, taking away the isolation in which they thrived. All the more reason to preserve these memories of a gentler, poorer, happier time (or is that simply nostalgia?)A well researched and useful treasury which is tremendously enjoyable.
