Does it really matter? I mean honestly are spelling mistkes such an important issue if the person is being understood? When was the last time you were chatting to someone and they stopped you talking because your grammer wasn't up to scratch??

Think some people might have their rose tinted specs on.
As I recall it, in what are being suggested to have been the good old days of bon homie and cheerful banter, the spelling police ruled. Since the onset of apathy, I don't recall the last time someone was seriously attacked because of their spelling on here.

Growing Up in Old Skipton
Edited by Stephanie Carter and Ella Hatfield |
|
 |
Based on the memoirs of Joyce Murgatroyd who was born in 1892, the book
tells of her life in Old Skipton and gives a new perspective to a
familiar subject. It is lavishly illustrated with pictures of where the
family lived and shopped, the clothes they wore and what their servants
used in their work, of Joyce’s family, school and church. They were an
ordinary family, and their lives would have been the same as so many of
their generation in Skipton.
What it was like to go to Skipton Girls’ Grammar School in its early
days? Can you imagine the excitement of seeing the world-famous Buffalo
Bill’s Wild West Show unloading its three special trains right next to
your house, in the days before cinema and television? And what went into
the sausages you bought?
Many of the photographs have never been published before; they will stir
nostalgia for the past in older folk and fascination in the young. The
painting on the cover, by W.T. Shuttleworth, is of Skipton only two
years before Joyce’s birth, showing the High Street as she would have
known it as a child.
Stephanie Carter has previously co-authored Craven College, a history of
Further Education in Skipton, as well as historical books on Earby. Ella
Hatfield is the author of Skipton, and of several articles on aspects of
local history.
Every school in Skipton has received a free copy of this book, thanks to
the generosity of Skipton Mechanics’ Institute who contributed to the
cost of the publication.
Growing Up in Old Skipton costs £7.99 and is available from Skipton
Castle, Craven Museum & Gallery, Skipton Library, WH Smiths, Alley
Books, New Chapter and other local venues. |
