Arh were under South Pier wi' big Barb-ra Moon,
W'en arh caught me firs' large batch o' crabs.
Our Bar-bra gorrold ov a winkle or two,
She were clever lak that wuz Arh Babs.
Thun sha wrestlet sum cockles an' pult out sum muscles,
Awl fishy an' damp fro' 'er dip,
An' said, "Cum on Arh Alfie, it's miserable 'ere,
Let's eat thuz wi' a nice bag o' chips."

(What? If George Formby could get away with it, I'm sure I can.)

I suspect there'd be a Health and Safety Official waiting for them under there with a clipboard.

here's a snippet from an old chum of mine
Proverb:
"Hear all. See all. Say nowt!
Eat all. Sup all. Pay nowt!
An' if tha does owt fer nowt,
Tha mon allus do it fer thi sen!
:lol:

I think that sounds right eh!! Shirley

Shirley,

If only. Unfortunately, as far as my own experience goes, that last bit should read:

"An' if tha does owt f'r nowt, thun tons o' bugger'll be ont' thee f'r moor o't seem wi'in tin minits."

So you can get a glimpse of the real thing. only thing was gala sqaud gave me an american independence flag to hold eek it was july 4th. Indian turns up with I could have carried hers which had a wolf on. It was her other half's birthday on that day and he had passed away 4 weeks ago.
