DePooperit Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 ^^ "Wint is geen, an waur is athin is place". A wry take on "progress" by my late graundmidder 20+ years ago. Interestin - 'wint' as a noun. On some o da things at I wrat i da past, I wrat aboot 'aald wints' or 'haemaboot wints' meanin 'old customs' or 'local customs'. An I tink 'wint an laer' meanin 'custom and education.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
