[edit] West Country Talk

Almost looks like a valid article on some British dialect. It's pretty long, but almost entirely content free. Sample: "It should be mentioned that this Park and Ride is little use to anybody coming from the northern side of Salisbury, who to avoid paying parking charges actually need to cross the entire cathedral city and park somewhere to take the bus, only to take the bus BACK to the original spot and return to their cars and cross the city again." Also, someone on that IP address seems obsessed with making questionable edits related to all kinds of languages. It's a hoax. Rl 19:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

• Huh? Does this article state that a dialect is responsible for high parking prices in Salisbury? Delete. Please. -R. fiend 20:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to English_English#Southern_rural_and_West_Country_accents, which I might just do myself. This is just a pointless attack page. David | Talk 20:42, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• as a former resident of Salisbury and Somerset, I strongly suggest we delete this hoax. Incidentally, the accent of south Wiltshire is in no way like that of Somerset. Sabine's Sunbird 22:37, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete hoax, and do not retain a redirect for a hoax. Being in Bristol, I've never encountered this stuff as a regional accent/style. Not that I can prove my claim, but the article certainly can't prove its, so is also unverifiable. -Splash 01:46, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete though I think perhaps a redirect after deletion to English English may be an option. -- Francs2000 | Talk 23:38, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unscientific folk linguistics at best. Secretlondon 05:38, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
