Re: Lancashire Dialect

Whenever I asked my Grandfather a question he didn't want to answer, his reply would be "'Cause there's a nail in t'plank." Has anyone else heard this one? Any idea where that comes from or was it just one of Grandad's own? Another of his was, when asked about what something was eg. "What are those things in that cupboard Grandad?" His reply would be "Layoers to catch meddlers" Another one which I really don't understand. Can anyone help me out here?
