Where can I find the poem that plays on the Bristol trailing 'L' (e.g. Africal being a malarial areal)?

Question

I heard on a Radio Bristol show a couple of years ago a poem making regular use of Bristolian's distinctive trailing 'L' - words that end with 'a' typically attract an extra 'L'.

(So Bristolians live in 'areals' rather than 'areas' and have a great many good 'ideals' rather than 'ideas'.)

I'd love to get hold of a copy of the poem.

Answer 1

Awlrrrie. Ow's bist?

Contact Radio Bristol (e-mail: [e-mail]) and ask if they can help. You may be able to purchase an MP3 copy of the programme.

You could always have a hunt around Brizzle sites such as That Be Bristle et ceteral (http://www.thatbebristle.co.uk/) to see if you can find the written poem.

I am sorry that I can't be more helpful, but you have left it two years before taking any action.

Thanks for your help!
