Sorry this one isn’t in the books that went on the shelves
today as I have just sold it along with the carnival programme I posted
yesterday. Pricing pamphlets is a slow business as I keep stopping and reading
bits. The life of a bookseller is a bit like that, there is still a pile of
them for me to do and I aim to be out paining tomorrow.
Anyway here is the small pageant guide in full.
Another load of railway books went out in my
bookshop today http://michaelsbookshop.blogspot.co.uk/2017/02/ghost-children-in-bookshop.html
On to the pismronunciation, vide video if you are lost here
I suppose back in 1833 with no TV internet
telephone a lot of people learnt new words only by reading them, and some of us
will remember old people pronouncing bomb as bum or shire as sheer. This isn’t
so much a matter of them getting it wrong as the language moving closer to the
way it is written over the last 200 years.
Is route said root ro rout, is one american? This little guide should I think shows how the London gentleman would have pronounced words. Or most likely the way Queen Victoria would have said what she said.
OK the changes are fairly subtle and probably dont interest most people whether you say acoustics or acowstics probably says more about history than it does about you, but food for thought.
I think most of it should be legible if you click on it to enlarge it.

Comments, since I started writing this blog in 2007 the way the internet works has changed a lot, comments and dialogue here were once viable in an open and anonymous sense. Now if you comment here I will only allow the comment if it seems to make sense and be related to what the post is about. I link the majority of my posts to the main local Facebook groups and to my Facebook account, “Michael Child” I guess the main Ramsgate Facebook group is We Love Ramsgate. For the most part the comments and dialogue related to the posts here goes on there. As for the rest of it, well this blog handles images better than Facebook, which is why I don’t post directly to my Facebook account, although if I take a lot of photos I am so lazy that I paste them directly from my camera card to my bookshop website and put a link on this blog.
