While researching a distant ancestor who hailed from Norwich, Norfolk I came across the Freinds Of Norfolk Dialect (F.O.N.D) - just brilliant. Then there's Cornish. I'm always intrigued by the diversity of dialect in countries like Britain or France cf NZ or Australia. (And, as a little diversion, here's something on Stonehenje. ;)

Cornish is a totally different language to English, it's not a dialect. This language is very similar to that of the people of Brittany (not French).

Places like Happisburgh (Hayzbrugh), Wymondham (Windum) & Costessey (Cossey) all trip up the unwary to be ridiculed by the locals.
