Re: lost dialect
Does anyone else on here call sausages as 'bags o' mystery'?
I heard the term years ago and think it's very funny. I like saying to my hubby 'It's bags o' mystery and mash for tea. :D |
Re: lost dialect
Hi Everyone - I new on the forum (see post on the "new to forum link).
I've read this thread with fascination and recall many of the phrases quoted. One I haven't seen is: Does anyone remember "playin' on t' coits". The stone roofs of all the outside toilets and bin holes line the back streets of our beloved terraced houses. Or your Mum screaming your name from the top o' them same coits. Ian |
Re: lost dialect
I allus use to play on t' coits. Mentioned coits to Busman the other week and he looked totally baffled.

Re: lost dialect
Refering to terraced houses , what were the jobstones/joabstones ? are they the two uprights on either side of the front door and the stone lintles on the bottom window , usually painted a matching color to the front door and window frames.
Also there was usually a fixed small window above the front door a 'fanlight' which allowed light into the lobby but it was called something different by my Grandparents (think the window cleaner charged 3d extra for that one) |
