Moin all tohoop,

ik heff wat in´t Nett funnen:

*Snack of the day*
For R1 you can buy a Stoepsitter (Verandah sitter) and for R2 a
Stoepstaaner (Verandah stander) at the Klaarstroom General Dealer in a
tiny village near De Rust. For those who don't know, the R1 version is a
roll of polony and the R2 one contains liver spread. We didn't have a
public tasting, but the counter assistant assures us they are very
popular with the locals.

Chiefly to Glen Simpson, of the Nothumbrian society;
Greetings all,
    I read you with interest. In Afrikaans we say 'hurk' (just by the way).
    We should swop notes, I think. The Northern English dialects & Scots are
skin-tinglingly close to Afrikaans.
    Bearing in mind that you Northerners produce more technically gifted
folk than can be consumed locally, there are plenty of your white (& blue)
collared migrant labourers all over the World.
    I recall, some of these were recruited, in the early seventies, I think,
to help out a geological survey in our remoter rural Northern Districts.They
were split up into small parties, each with one Afrikaans geology student to
interpret for them (most whites are bilingual, but many blacks speak only
Afrikaans of the two), but they ran out of students.
    So the last group had the one North-Englishman in their party, & by dint
of
saying some things twice in another way, he managed to communicate quite
well.
    Here are some examples he gave us of his dialect;
    'Hoy me the ball.' &
    'Havercake.'
as against the Afrikaans;
    'Gooi my die bal.' &
    'Hawerkoekie.'

     Yrs sincerely,
Mark
