longtimeblue Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 1 hour ago, maddog said: It is pronounced Redcur... Guess the point was that it should be pronounced as it reads for non locals. I'm in agreement. Slaithwaite was mentioned earlier in the thread. They have 'Slawit Taxis' and 'Slawit Spice' just to emphasis the colloquialism. Spend a fair amount of time over there and make a point of referring to it as 'Slafe-wait' whenever I can. Fine for them to dick about with it but it's nowt to do with me. Blackley pronounced Blake-ly an all. I'll do that one though as it's the right side of the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well my missus is from Marsden and when I first called it “Slafe-wait” I was promptly told it was “Slaff-wait” and her mum (who was born in and has lived in Marsden all her life) calls it that too. Her Dad calls it “Slawit” though so I don’t know who to believe and have long since given up...oddities over there the lot of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the cup games he has played he has been rubbish. Time to forget and move on. You go tonight? Still think ‘forget and move on’? Miles better than coke.

I do think we’ll tail off badly if we can’t get anyone in. Don’t have the depth or talent to mount a promotion push as it stands. Stand by this think the lack of depth in defence showed tonight. If Clarke gets injured we'll struggle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
