in england the slang and dialect varies from town to town. around where i live we tend to say things that quite frankly might not make much sense.

heres an example: it's alright though isn't it (its abit like a sarcastic way of saying "it will be fine" i.e. "you will get in trouble for that", "yeah, its alright though isnt it")..... around here it becomes - sryt o' innit...

another example is where the word "the" is sometimes dropped in a sentance: "im going to the pub" might become - "im going t' pub"

i suppose its just kinda lazy that we cant be bothered saying words separately so we just join them together or drop bits out.....

still. it makes language pretty interesting.....
