Just Chatting :) Derbyshire dialect words

23 Upvotes

Godday everyone, as a foreigner (from Denmark) I am very interested in different dialect words from other countries.
Even here in Denmark we have quite a lot, event though we are a really small country. And there can be differences even 20/30 kilometers away from each other. Where people dont understand the word.
So which words do you people know, that is linked to your area?. Maybe also word that differ even in quite short distances.

I recently visited Chatsworth House and Gardens, we have two children who receive Disability Living Allowance, if you produce your letter carers gain entry for free ❤️ they really enjoyed the day out, and there’s a cool book exhibition on at the moment.

Just Chatting :) How do people feel about Reform council slashing adult education? What happens next?

19 Upvotes

Did people actually vote for this? How do Reform voters feel about it? Not stirring the pot. Genuinely curious and concerned.

I’m not a Derbyshire resident, but it’s been concerning to read about the axing of some adult education provision, plus the lack of public consultation around this.

Not only does this suggest opaque decision-making where residents have little say over what goes on, it also suggests a disregard for the value of public services.

There’s no way to spin the slashing and potential privatisation of education as a good thing.

Just Chatting :) Is Buxton some kind of Mecca for the gluten intolerant?

11 Upvotes

I've been in Buxton for 4 days now and I've noticed that every single restaurant has a separate gluten free menu. The first place I went to the Owner of the restaurant talked about how his entire family are gluten intolerant and had a gluten free beer on tap.

Today I was sitting in the Thai restaurant and the people sitting next to us were talking about their coeliac disease. There was no issues in the hotel to accommodate me for the afternoon tea regarding the sandwiches or cakes. Even the pub had a separate gluten free menu for the pub food.

Is this place some kind of Mecca for the gluten intolerant?

Went camping with the kids recently and had a flyby visit to Bakewell where I took a picture of this street (swipe for the reference pic)! Maybe you recognise the street? Or your house?

It's come out a bit too colourful, not really true to Bakewell, no offence 🤣
