I may have asked this before, but here goes anyway lol.

Why do certain people never used the word 'to' in certain sentences?

Novalad just said it when he mentioned "Going Cornwall for a week"

I hear it all the time (on here) Going Donny, going scrappy etc.

I don't think it's just a regional thing either.


Help a brother out. lol

maybe they can't count........

its simply young people trying to be all street & wivit..... when they grow out of it, they start saying to again...

there are a great many local accents that speak almost a different language

ie.

Comfort food. what a yorkshire man says when he arrives for dinner

Down ere in Somerset, we would omit the 'o' from the word to & then make up for it by adding 'innit' to the end of every sentence, or start a sentence with 'gert'. So you get....

Gert going t' Cornwall, innit?
