el pleased to know at they're all
o'th' mendin hand. It's a pity to think ivery time Christmas comes raand
'at ther's soa mony fowk 'at will'nt be able to have a merry un. Aw'm
sooary it is soa, an' aw wod help it if aw could. Ther's nubdy enjoys a
bit ov a spree better nor aw do, but ther's one thing aw dooant like, an
that is to be pestered off my life booath at hooam an abroad wi fowk
commin an sayin, 'Aw wish yo a merry Christmas an' a happy New Year,'
when all th' time aw know weel enuff they wish nowt at sooart, but just
come for what they can get. Nah if sich-like wod nobbut come an' say
plain aght, 'we come to see what yo'll give us, an' we dooant care a
button whether yo've a merry Christmas or net,' why, then yo'd know what
to mak on 'em. Ony body at's ony gooid wishes to give, let 'em give 'em,
but aw'm blow'd if aw care to buy' em, becoss they arn't genuine at's to
sell. Th' price may be low enuff--a glass o' whisky or a shillin, but
unless they come free gratis, for nowt, aw'd rather net be bothered wi'
'em. Shoolers, please tak nooatice.
