Made another YouTube video the other day. TBH, I’m quite enjoying making them ( even if they are Sh!t). They’re certainly my remedy for lockdown boredom.

The wife loves watching house programmes on the telly and this one was on BBC2 this week. Best house in town. 

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0002jyv/episodes/guide

 

My attention was alerted when the episode featured our city and had various screen shots of landmarks (usual stuff... RIII, Guildhall, prison and even our wonderful home on Freeman's Wharf). However, the narrator said that people that come from Leicester are known as 'Ratae's'. Really? No one has ever called me a Ratae (not to my face, anyroad). 

 

Thinking about it, it's not that bad a name. Gives a nod to our historical roots and sounds a bit edgy. Think that I'll embrace it. Any other Ratae's out there?

The only context I've heard that term used is with reference to the biker gang.

I've heard it before, it's not in common use though. Another one I've heard is "woolly back" in reference to the wool trade. Again a bit out dated.

You should have seen the look on my friend from New Zealand’s face when I asked him for tips on how to look after my deck.

I remember struggling to understand Kiwi vowels during my long-ago visit.

 

"Sex wine burgers and sex chups" translated as "Six Hawaiian burgers and six chips"? 

 

Mind you, an Aussie could get in trouble over here, asking for some Durex to stick up a poster (Sellotape = Durex in Aus, as I recall?)

It is simultaneously the greatest and worst accent on the planet.

My cousin came from Australia a few years back. Bought some sandals and kept banging on about how comfortable her new thongs were.

Ratae is the old Roman name for Leicester.

 

The Ratae was used as a name for the Leicester 'Hells Angels' biker gang back in the 60's/70's I think, as pointed out by Buce.
