I was able to follow about 80 to 90% of what Mac says – I learned by watching a lot of British TV shows that were imported for viewing here; now, it may take a second, but I can follow :-P
In some places “your plates” would be your family members. I think that ‘China’ is in reference that maybe the dog has some Asian breed in him. And gormy may mean that the dog is slow to get things.
