Wot's yon lowad on owd kelter? ... 'E looked a reglar mawkin ... Ayn't backards in cummin' forr'ards ... The bees is as fell as owt. Can people in Lincolnshire really be speaking the English language? A treasure trove of folk history and vivid English expression can be found in the Lincolnshire dialect, which should not be forgotten. Nobbut a Yellerbelly! traces origins, capturing the warmth and humour to be found among those who live in the region. What better opportunity could there be for all yellerbellies and Linkisheere speakers to celebrate their heritage! With illustrations by Richard Scollins. Alan Stennett has a life long interest in the people and the language of Lincolnshire. Descended from at least four generations of Lincolnshire farmers, he was one of the team who set up BBC Radio Lincolnshire, and is now a freelance journalist and broadcaster, working from his home in an old railway station in the county.
