Cornish Tradesmen
Now, Cornish tradesmen do a proper job,
But they might not do it straight away,
For if they say they’ll do it ‘dreckly’,
There might be a slight delay …!
NB: Although the ... English ‘directly’
and the ………... Cornish ‘dreckly’
sound very similar, they are poles
apart in terms of meaning!
