J.H.:
The Linguistic Atlas of England, map S5, shows that the omission of the
relative pronoun in subject position used to be widespread in England
(except in the West Midlands). You can hear it in Scotland too: "It's an
ill burd fyles its ain nest." It's also common in Irish English, where
the proverbial advice to slow down is. "The man made time made
plenty of it."
