The Boy Tom – May 2015

Well how are yu all a’gettin on t’gether?

I am a bit moderate at the moment. Just cos old muther nature hev warmed the weather up a bit(mid April) that han’t stopped me a gettin a bit of a’cold und tizzick (cough). The Missus recon thas my fault cos I told har that if the weather stayed warm I were a’goin t’start a wearin my summer vest. She also recon that.if I dint improve soon she’s a’goin t’put me inta a basket und teake me down t’the vetinary’s und let him hev a look at me.

I have read that them up at County Hall hev decided that sum o’the children from the Norwich Road Estates are a’goin t’hev t’walk t’the Village School instead of gettin on a bus t’teake them there und back. They recon that they a’goin t’tricolate up the footpath that run twix the Norridge Road und Caudle Springs. As I hev said afor I crowd my old bike through there most days t’get me peaper. That ull teake a’tidy lot o’wark t’git git that path ready so the Mothers und Fathers can walk through there with their children und may be a’pushin a pram or push chair. Thas afor they ha’a walk down Drury Lane, cos thas suffin narra in places wi high banks und no where t’git orf the road. A’time they get t’school the little -uns are a’goin t’be tired out. They still a goin t’walk back agin arter they cum outa school in the arternoon und the parents are a’goin t’hev t’walk the path 4 times a’day. They recon that a good education will help one und all t’git on in life. How can those children who will now hev to walk t’school concentrate on their leanin when they arrive t’school dog tied?

Yu remember last time I hed a’word along with yu I were a goin on about, how last year, the Council hed marked round pot holes t’be repaired and how nuthin hed happened. Tuther day I see sum new yella lines round sum pot holes near where we live. I’ll be a keepin an eye on um und let yu know what happen.

There seem a rare lot of roadworks here about. Last week I warked out that there were only one road outa Watton (The Brandon Road) that dint hev sum traffic lights a’holdin folk up, und thas a’for yu start a thinkin about the road closed up at Watton Green.

A’time yu are a’readin this the old elections will be about t’happen. They allus recon that politions are the best salesmen out. They promise the earth but deliver nout. Sum folk say that to be a good polition you ha got t’be able the talk about nuthin for 5 minutes while you are a’thinkin of suffin t’say. Hevin said all that I think thas important that yu du vote, cos if yu dont thas no good yu a carryin on about them once they are elected.

Well them boys up at Carra Rood are a still a’winnin. A time yu read this they’ll know if they hev got their pass t’ go inta the Premier Legure with-out hevin t’go inta the play-orfs. Arter the season is over one o’our boys with sum of his friends are a’playin at Carra Rood. They are hevin the pay a’bit t’du so. I recon the Missus und I will draw along und giv him a look.

Well I hed better close now cos the Missus recon she is a mixin suffin up that ull help get rid of my cold und tizzick. I see she ha’got a little old bottle ready. I hope she ent a’goin t’drench me (pore the mixture down my throat) like I used d’do with my old sheep when they hed suffin wrong with um!!!!!

Fare ye well t’gether und du yu keep a troshin.
