beerbeerbeerbeerbeer Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 (edited) Another painting following on from Heartland’s thread. the painter is Algernon Newton. Did lots of canal scenes. Algernon Newton was the father of Robert Newton. It was Robert Newton who’s acting gave us the pirate “arrgh!” Remember him in Treasure Island and Bluebeard? to add: I don’t know where it is, I have an idea but 🤷♀️ Edited December 1, 2022 by Goliath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stilllearning Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 “Where’s this to” is a phrase I haven’t heard since I lived in deepest Hampshire. It was often part of a phrase like “ where’s this to then boy?”. Re the paintings, I thought the architecture of that white house was pure London Georgian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nb Innisfree Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 First time I heard that phrase was circa 1962/63 in Hamworthy Dorset, sounded odd to a teenager from Sheffield 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gatekrash Posted December 3, 2022 Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 Definitely West country. Janners use it all the time.. 'Where we going to now ?' 'Any idea where I put that screwdriver to?' 'Any idea where Asders is to? Is it near the Cwop?' And so on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it’s not Cornish language but simply dialect. It may be said across other counties and places too, but it’s certainly particular to the South West. I don’t think it’s something I would normally write just a turn of phrase I use when speaking having picked it up living the better part of my life in Cornwall. It usually goes unnoticed and rarely gets a comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
