Poll: One of our epic thread members has come out, should he go back in ?

Hi Shadeaux, I have heard a lot worse, totally unintelligible and you only have to go half way up this island in the rain

I give up Choo! Just cannot seem to break this one? Guess my cockney rhyming slang idea was not it?
getting ready to go to work so I will let the others to this one.
I see Miss S seems have figured it out.
My best guess is,Better be the honest truth or you will be up before the birds in the morning?

Hi Taz, close, I will give you 9/10 for most of the words, but your translation doesn't actually make sense in the context it was used in reply to the 'accusation' against Pete

Sorry, no rhyming slang involved, more a mix of old London terms with a touch of industrial Midlands let's say abbreviation of words.

Now I have given a hint I'll let you all worry a bit longer, ain't I a good 'un !

Choo, a good 'un you are indeed! Is there a bit of over analyzing going on here, or is it just me?

edit- And I really AM leaving this time! lol
Have a happy day!

Ok Choo, I'm gonna take a stab at it without any online help..just good old fashioned guesswork

""Be'er be t'onest truf or yor'l be up a'fore the beak in't morn ""

Something like
Better be honest with/to yourself or you'll lose sleep

That sounds goofy but that's what I'm getting out of this

Hi Shadeaux, here is the answer, posted here as well as on the epic thread page 96.

me word's were :-
"Be'er be t'onest truf or yor'l be up a'fore the beak in't morn"

Better but still poor English :-
"It had better be the honest truth or you will be up before the magistrate/judge in the morning"

This "honest truth " is a dire but common piece of wording.

So there you go Taz is the winner by a mile.
