    Is this the source of some of the Eastern Canadian accent?

    I got most of it; I saw "Widder" as "weather", but was stumped on "sooricks".

    I love accents!!..

    British, Irish, and Southern (Texas, Tennesse, etc) haha..

    you bet it was easy to read and I too could get an idea of the accent bu ti´m sure listening to it would be challenging.. just as Tia Dalma.. lol... I had to really pay attention to get it all.. haha...

    I had to look up "soorick" myself. It's Sorrel, apparently.

    Carole, do you know the "Desperate Fishwives" comedy that Radio Scotland does? Some of the language is authentic and some is caricature, but your mum might enjoy it. I think they have a new series starting on Monday.

    It will be downloadable on the BBC iplayer, but this link will give you a few videos as a taster. Enjoy!

    I think you are right, "weather" not wind. Great fun, this is!

    Yes widder is weather, Freedom you did so well, top marks you missed one word Mair but other than that you did extremely well,environmental man is just part of the poem and english,as for Sooricks, i did not even know myself what that is, now hearing it is another challenge for sure,as every word whether english written is not spoken that way, and the accent is very broad.

    Thanks Killearn Kitties for that info, we don't get that here,but will look up the link.

    I was hoping for another poem by now, Carole!

    By the way, the BBC iplayer allows to you listen online, and I think it should work from anywhere. Certainly the programme I hear on my way home from work gets requests coming in from all over the world, where people are listening online.
