Celebrating Mrs Ethel Bryant's 100th Birthday!

For many years, Ethel was well-known for reciting Yorkshire monologues during concerts with the Woodlesford Ladies' choir and Rothwell's Jubilee choir. We hope you enjoy the treasure trove of her carefully written-out copies that we share here!

Ah'm Heavy on Cloas

Ah'v rivven mi britches!
Mi Mam'll play 'eck...
Ah wer just climin't gate
when ah copped 'em o't sneck.

Summat snagged on mi jumper
when Ah crawled i' mi den
nah't wool under't armoiles
'as unravelled itsen.

Ah've torn mi best coit,
an if that warn't enough,
Ah'v loisened all't stitches
arahnd mi shirt cuff.

Ah've lost a new glove -
nah ah'v only got one.
An ah put mi thumb through mi sock
when Ah were pullin it on!

Mi Mam's allus naggin'
but shoo didn't arf shrike
when Ah used mi shirt flap
fer cleanin' mi bike.

Ther's a split in mi booit -
it shows all mi toas.
No, ther's no doubt abaht it,
Ah'm 'eavy on cloas.
