Belle. No I haven't but it makes sense, repetition of the chorus in a hymn.
Do you know Julie I considered writing to them. Blaster Bates reference is solid, he used it frequently. I always assumed it was Cheshire dialect.

Now , here's a thing ...!
I have noticed that when people are posting things "written in dialect" the often use the word ..."REET"....for "very"...
It may be my flawed memory , but I only remember the word being pronounced more like "RAIYT"....or maybe " REYT"
Short and Flat....(with a glottal stop ,at the end)......and I still use it that way myself....
I've never heard it spoken like that anywhere other than in Nelson (and suroundings) !
Discuss , maybe ?

ooh Bradders are you forgetting the site is 'one guy from Barnoldswick' that would be Barnoldswick in Yorkshire as opposed to Nelson in Lancashire....tread carefully, very carefully!

Brad you are right, I have always spelt it as reight. Every time I see 'reet gradely' it strikes me as wrong.

Sorry to interrupt, but I was watching an epiosode of Timeteam last night, Salisbury cathedral, when Ms (forgotten her name for the mo) said she was going to have a furtle around!!
We must take up the (something you run with) and run with it. I think it is this site's duty to get furtle into the OE dictionary.
What do you say? Shall we have a site project?

There you are and you've been laughing at me for years..... I shall look into it....
Brad, be careful lad, nobody is reight, rayt, reet or right all the time. You'll notice that what I said was that I have always heard and used reight, probably a geographic variation.
