just read through the 39 pages of this forum. Really made me laugh. Some of the sayings I haven't heard since I was a child. We moved from Nottingham (Bulwell) to Canada when I was seven. But my mother used a lot of these saying. Nesh, mardy, being two of the words that I still use. I also "mash" tea, not steep it.
When I asked what was for dinner, it was always, a run round the table and a kick at the pantry door. And when I was being nosy, and asking what something was " Jim Jams to put meddler's noses in.
My mother retained her Bulwell accent until the day she died.
