Re: Soft Mick.

Thanks guys, I really have enjoyed this thread. "Not to beat a dead horse " but one of my mom's favorite expressions was "Dear Guzzy's Hat?" That's one my mom used to say alot just like the "bless my cotton socks" expression. Just wasn't sure if was a Lancashire or a Yorkshire saying.

My Mom used to talk about when her grandmother and some of her uncles would visit her dad up in Providence, Rhode Island. They'd get to talking while playing cards. My mom couldn't understand half of what they said. She asked what language they were talking and her Dad would say it's Lancashire ya bloody fool (in a nice way I'm sure).

My mom has been kinda losing her mind (she's 78). I've copied many of the Lancashire sayings to see if they jog her memory. Thanks!

Brian
