Dear Gary, Ron, Lowlanders,
    But this is delightful!  I understood every word, except "Eshchri'.
Is
that "Estuary", by chance?  Is this a coastal dialect of the
southeastern
U.S.?

Allison,

It *is* "Estuary" and refers to "Estuary English," a dialect at the
Thames Estuary.  Our Gary wrote an introduction to it for "Lowlands
Talk" under "English" (http://www.lowlands-l.net/talk/, the site soon to
be moved and extended).  My first response was too Cockney for Gary, and
my second response was a sort of Australian.

Gary:
