Re: Old local expressions

My little book of lancashire english shows;
agate (1) start , (2) against ("gerr agate quick ees agate on us")

My husband used to like going into The Crown on Whalley Road about 20-odd yrs ago, there was an old chap who used to lift his pint to him and say "Awlreet Cock" when he came in!

A real Accy one that my Nanny used to say was " If you can't si't Coppice it's rainin', if you can si't Coppice it's goin' to rain"
