Re: lost dialect
Granny Morris used to describe people with squints as "Skenning like a basket o' whelps". But we didn't have spills to light the gas, we had tapers (got them from Emily's in Henry Street).
The clout that you shouldn't cast had nothing to do with the month, by the way - it was the May blossom that had to be out before you could take the capsicum tissue from under your liberty bodice!
