I was aware of the Blabberbell article BM, but hadn't picked up on the chat-forum stuff that followed it :laughing: The link's only just been sent to me this afternoon.

It's quite nostalgic really It's years since I've been called a 'tankie' (and it brought a wry smile to my face when one of the posters had to explain the derivation of the phrase to another). Oh yes..... the elitism of the Left wing lexicon? the pecuiliarities of a short-hand language, that is increasingly known only to a few desperados who try and preserve it for posterity. The Trotskyist bit was mildly amusing too.

On balance though, they even gave me a reasonably sympathetic airing I thought, though I must admit to having never picked up on these spooky goings on in Llandrindod Wells. Does the Principality have a 'Bible belt?'

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2099488, member: 65228"] I was aware of the Blabberbell article BM, but hadn't picked up on the chat-forum stuff that followed it :laughing: The link's only just been sent to me this afternoon. :D It's quite nostalgic really :D It's years since I've been called a 'tankie' (and it brought a wry smile to my face when one of the posters had to explain the derivation of the phrase to another). Oh yes..... the elitism of the Left wing lexicon? the pecuiliarities of a short-hand language, that is increasingly known only to a few desperados who try and preserve it for posterity. The Trotskyist bit was mildly amusing too. On balance though, they even gave me a reasonably sympathetic airing I thought, though I must admit to having never picked up on these spooky goings on in Llandrindod Wells. Does the Principality have a 'Bible belt?' [/QUOTE]
