Scullery

[steptoe]

OK,

so a few will know what this means,

you norn iron guys etc, and maybe Noz , our Welshie with the real wife,  :slap

but, do any of you English folk know what this is?

Ive just been pulled by the wife for saying this apparently to our daughter,,,,,,  :C

apparently I used to say stuff like this to our lad too when he was little.

might be time to stop dropping it so much this time so we  can actually speak to each other without me having to think and translate everytime,,,,,

 

[NozSpark]

[steptoe]

You mean the press?

It is a term that used to be used by my family, but, tbh, I can't remember for definite what it is.

Scullery is the kitchen isn't it?

I'm from Hampshire but I know what a scullery is..........On the farm my old Gran always did the washing in the scullery & Grandad cleaned shoes & plucked pheasants/skinned rabbits,hares out there, it was the little room on the back of the kitchen & from memory it had the old Belfast sink with a single cold tap on a lead pipe.

I'm from Sweden, so therefore I don't have a bloody clue... :coat

 

[Andy™]

I'm from Sweden, so therefore I don't have a bloody clue... :coat

and then someone confuses her more by asking what a scullery is...

It's the shock from seeing the forum pink and "Love from Andy" at the top, my brain can't cope

It's the shock from seeing the forum pink and "Love from Andy" at the top, my brain can't cope

If it had said "Love From Step's" you probably would have fainted.

Scullery ...yes  its the area off the kitchen , washing up & laundry .  (  Best way to spot a Norn ironer  ...Sparks drive round in a verrrrn !!

Try this ...before the days of eveyone having a fridge , food was stored on "The Settle"   ...part of the larder , a cold tiled raised area. 

Now better get the washing in ...its going black over Bill's mothers .
