Messages?

Are you a spy?

Anyone else in the area, besides Cashy who called shopping 'messages'?

I still think it's more Scottish than Lancastrian.
I was thinking just that Rindi, I never heard that until I worked with a lad from Glasgow in the 70s, the first time he said that I looked at him as if to say what you on about, but in time I got used to it, like are you going for the messages this morning (bacon and egg butts)
