No, not Scouser, Scots or Brummagem  ::)

Ah kennel!

No, you should have typed in "Hides in the corner of a couple of bits of old rusty corrugated iron held together with huge bent nails and bits of old wood in the corner of a field with no shade from the sun"

Makes perfect sense now

Δορές στη γωνία μερικών κομματιών του παλαιού σκουριασμένου ζαρωμένου σιδήρου που διατηρείται τη συνοχή με τα τεράστια καμμμένα καρφιά και των κομματιών του παλαιού ξύλου στη γωνία ενός τομέα χωρίς τη σκιά από τον ήλιο
