Yep, growing up in rural Hampshire (southern England) that sounds quite familiar Alan!

And as for approving of anything Anglo-Saxon...well, I'm with you too. It may not be Latin, but it sounds 'roight' if you get my drift....!!

Re: Get off ma land!

I have often said it myself in received pronunciation when I had a mere acre of Devon and caravan tourists came on it with their dogs. I can do a Debbon aahcsent tho' if need be. Yew gro'ulls gerrof moi lahhnd!
The said acre was opposite and across the estuary from the CTC (Commandos) Lympstone and some nights there were furtive figures on my land pretending to hide.
I would say quietly not shout "I know you are there but this is my patch but I think you would fool most so I will retire".

I have spent many a happy hour fishing the "Execater" canal (ship) that must be very close to that patch of Devon.
