Re: lost dialect
My dad had a few dialect expressions - though I think some of them were his own. One of them was "manking" and it meant - er - getting up to no good behind the bike-shed, so to speak.
My favourite, of his, I have never been sure whether he made it up. He would refer to anyone having a tantrum (or "losing their rag" or just acting a bit wild) as "Having a Tommy Berry Do". Has anyone else ever heard it and, if so, who the hell was Tommy Berry?
