        While we are having some fun...
        Erics mail below reminded me of a Gospel of Mark in Black
        Country dialect my father used to have on his shelves.

        Apart from the tongue of the Potteries I've also clapped
        eyes on Gospels in broad Yorkshire and no doubt somewhere
        there'll be similar in Scouse, Cockney, Geordie, and
        Glaswegian lurking around somewhere.
        S.
