Strine
Strine, also spelled Stryne , describes a broad accent of Australian English. The term is a syncope, derived from a shortened phonetic rendition of the pronunciation of the word "Australian" in an exaggerated Broad Australian accent, drawing upon the tendency of this accent to run syllables together in a form of liaison. The term was coined in 1964 when the accent was the subject of humorous columns published in the ''Sydney Morning Herald'' from the mid-1960s. Alastair Ardoch Morrison, under the Strine pseudonym of Afferbeck Lauder (a syncope for "Alphabetical Order"), wrote a song "With Air Chew" ("Without You") in 1965 followed by a series of books—''Let Stalk Strine'' (1965), ''Nose Tone Unturned'' (1967), ''Fraffly Well Spoken'' (1968), and ''Fraffly Suite'' (1969). An example from one of the books: "Eye-level arch play devoisters ..." ("I'll have a large plate of oysters"). In 2009, Text Publishing, Melbourne, re-published all four books in an omnibus edition.

River Douglas, Lancashire
The River Douglas, also known as the River Asland or Astland, flows through parts of Lancashire and Greater Manchester in North West England. It is a tributary of the River Ribble and has several tributaries, the major ones being the River Tawd and the River Yarrow. In 1720 an act of Parliament was passed allowing Thomas Steers and William Squire to make the Douglas navigable to small ships between Wigan and its mouth. Amid financial irregularities, the Douglas Navigation was not completed until 1742, and by 1783, it had been superseded by the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. It reverted to being a river, although the remains of several locks can still be seen between Parbold and Gathurst. The Rufford Branch of the canal joins the river at Tarleton. The river rises on Winter Hill on the West Pennine Moors, and flows for through several towns and onto the Ribble estuary past Tarleton, the last or so being tidal. In 1892 the Douglas was diverted in Wigan to allow the construction ...
