Re: lost dialect

If someone was talking rubbish, my auntie would say "It's all my eye and Betty Martin", and if someone was in trouble, he would be "In Dicky's meadow" - don't know why, but my auntie Lily was rather strange, she always wore a wrap-around apron which she called a brat and wore a hat all the time, in the house or when sand-stoning the steps. She thought the neighbours were common because they used white sandstone whereas she used cream.
