I Was Appreciative of My Cornet

I WAS APPRECIATIVE OF MY CORNET. (Northern dialect) I went to the ice cream man on the corner for me, me friend and me Nan. I got two cornets and a wafer with nougat in, for me Nan. I remember it being hot that day cause me ice cream melted down me hand. We sat at front of nans house, me, me friend and me Nan, just watching passers-by, lads playing football on the street, what a day, eeeee, it wer grand. Me with me cornet ice cream dripping down me hand and me Nan with a nougat wafer which looked massive in her hand. But me I was appreciative of my cornet, I didn’t begrudge me Nan. Because when I grow older I’ll have a nougat wafer, and me grand kids will understand.
