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" |
we have one of those over here "if you cant see the top of pendle its raining, if you can see the top of pendle its going to rain" 
thats one of the ones written round the "big pencil" shuttle
