Wordy/grammary question.

[bauble99]

I've read the term (sic) in writing and I've worked out that it (seems to) denote a spelling or grammatical error which is then being quoted. What does 'sic' actually mean?
Also, 'natch'?
TIA

sic does mean error, i expect it's latin

natch is naturally, in a valley accent. I don't know about sic.

Natch

bloomin eck hunker how many names?

Thought of you today as it got dark and I realised I'd not taken a pic of the drive this weekend! LOL!

I predict that young Master Munker will, sadly, be a guest of a TV confessional show in the future.. no doubt discussing the damage caused by childhood exposure to uneven paving stones.

Young Master Munker would have dreamt of uneven paving stones, Bubble - sadly, he got rubble, broken bits of blue china tile (wtf? Weirdy former occupants of this house!) and large weeds. Poor, deprived little curly-haired tot
