Hi Linda,

Long time since I thought about the dialect but an Uncle of mine from`ambra` used to say, on meeting you, - `ware bist gwan shackutts`. I knew what he meant - do you?

Irene

There is an interesting article in the Oxford Times dated 8 April regarding Stonesfield dialect.  Page 13 - the Chris Koenig column.
