Quote Of The Day

I was at a customers house today and the lady of the house (retired) said..

"every house needs a glory hole"

 

[steptoe]

:slap

and just to what was she referring to Noz?

I know for sure that the English refer to it as something totally different to what folks in norn iron do.

Up here, we have a whole different language.

What do you think these mean in ordinary conversation:

Piece

Doing the messages

Rhoons (probably spelt wrong, I've never seen it written)

Puddock

Cludgie

I only know " Cludgie"      Toilet ?   Its in a folk song but can't think which one .

A "glory hole " in the midlands has two meanings .

One has a "toilet " connotation .

The other is a cupboard or room piled up with junk & stuff.

Don't know the others Dave.   Remember we could'nt undersatand Rab C Nesbit at all down here.

 

[NozSpark]

When she said it I just gave a short laugh,,,,, but what she meant was the under stairs cupboard rammed full with stuff.

Well I know what messages and presses are,, but I didn't before I went to the wife's homeland Eire)E

The word "Miskins "  is peculiar to Brum , as far as I know .  Does anywhere else use it ?

It means "Dustbins " here.

I KNOW,

I KNOW,

but, its a dialect similar that I speak,

drives my wife up the wall, she really cant get her head around 'piece' though,  :slap

I love piece, i think its a brilliant word, and very apt, not some made up thing, it is exactly what it describes.

Noz, I'll bet you have some funny moments at times with the outlaws, 

heres another for you Dave,

spelling may be wrong,

sh-uuugh  

Ive added the hyphen to accentuate the pronunciation,

 

[wozz]

she probably well into her gold mining, a glory hole is a ancient waterfall at the bottom is where the gold collects.  dunno what u lot are on about! 

 

[NozSpark]

Well it certainly is different over there

The one thing that really sticks in my mind I unfortunately can't repeat on here as it would put the swear filter into overdrive,,,, all directed from my brother in-law (6 years old at the time) towards my father in law

OK maybe initials .... FO you stupid C

without ANY repurcussions

I also remember a story that a lad that I used to work with from Yorkshire told me

He went into a local chip shop and asked for "Once",,, they looked at him totally blank and asked him again so he said "Once",,, he then had to explain himself that they were a "Fish and chip" shop and that he wanted one portion of "Fish and chips"

 

[Evans Electric]

Oh well ...Yorkshire eh !!! :C

Stepps ....not a clue M8!!

" A Piece"  in Brum would mean  bread and butter .

 

[Steve3948]

"Glass a Pop bab"   now that's brummy

 

[Evans Electric]

Blige I understood that !!

Time for a Kipper tie I think !

Noz,

thats a big thing,

F*** is a word, not regarded as a swear word whatsoever

its a local thing, English people make it a bad word so it must be one,

but its not,

I use it all the time, to my wifes wrath, even in front of my 5 yr old, ITS NOT A BAD WORD !

its only English perception that has made it a bad word.

 

[NozSpark]

I understand that now.... it was 20 odd years ago and one of my first visits

It was one hell of a culture shock
