Re: lost dialect

GC.....we must've been a bit posh because we had a Zinc 'blower' instead of a shovel......we also had a gas poker, but that was only because we had an uncle who worked for the gas board and he got it cheap for us. I used to get severely told off for standing on the the red rubber tubing and making it go out.......My dad said I would get blown to kingdom come.......I wanted to go to find out where it was......silly girl!
