It was set in the 30's, mostly in Sussex(I think) and a rural area. I apologize if any of these are "foul": sukebind mun = "must" as in "I mun go spread the word..." mommet wennit - this could be a proper name, I'm not sure There was a farming term that I don't remember exactly. It sounded like "skernettle"??? There were several more but I've forgotten them already. I wish I wrote them down. The thought didn't occur to me until after the movie.
