We at ampers& take pride in the extent of our vocabularies. Words are, after all, our chosen tools: the more and better we have, the more and better we can do with them. So we are always delighted to come across opportunities to expand our range further. As in this letter from today's Guardian:

Can we send a delegation from the Black Country to ask that the Vatican adopt seven Dudley sins (Letters, March 13) - camplin', gawkin', ivver-ovverin', werritin', waggin', pullin' maygrums, and gerrin' on me wick?
Chris Bond

Of course it would help if we had any idea what any of them, apart from the last, meant. What on earth, for just one example, is a maygrum?

Kind regards

Alan
