Chindie Posted November 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 7, 2019 It's in Polish and looks like it's from the 40s/50s, so I'll guess it's a map of the South East for Polish escapees to the UK from WW2/Soviet control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I've looked it up, very clever. Your response I understood, it just made no sense EDIT: I'm also having a mind melt trying to even imagine how that is pronounced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Easiest equivalent word in english would be Oi! Strangely, I spotted straight away you’d written egg, but had to googlie chicken. I think I am now the world record slowest learner. Though I have developed some weird nervous tick of compulsively shouting llaith if anyone says milk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
