Beekay 5,094 Posted July 15, 2020 Report Share Posted July 15, 2020 ClifTon will probably explain better than me but, if you look at the top right hand corner of the page where your avatar is, next to it on the left is an envelope then a bell. If you click on the envelope symbol it will take you to the page you need. You then type in the name you wish to send to, in the white box on the left. The box below that is the title, under that is where you type your message. Does this make sense? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beekay 5,094 Posted March 18, 2021 Report Share Posted March 18, 2021 Another one ube. When we used to go swimming in Wollaton canal, mum used to say, "Don't come back here if ya get drowned". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mess 609 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Beekay, I remember seeing lads jumping into the canal one hot summer in the late 50s. I think they were jumping off the Old Coach Rd bridge or maybe the lock gates. I read somewhere on here that one lad drowned one year. Wasn't you was it? Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beekay 5,094 Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Hiya Mess, I don't think it were me. I'm sure i would have known if I drowned. Did get me shoes wet though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted May 18, 2021 Report Share Posted May 18, 2021 Haven't heard that for years but now you've reminded me....people who were 'wappy'. Definitely used that when I was younger. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
doodle 35 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 My aunt used to say ah well if nothing changes it stays the same. A friend used to say me watch is on bobbins - which is possibly an Ilkeston phrase. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mary1947 2,071 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 My Dad would come out with these sayings He was a bugger to his first wife. How long have you been married? even the train robbers did not serve that lenght of time' .If you went into a pub with my dad he would say what do you want to drink (do you want a bitter dick) Mum when my borther and I were fighting she would say " if you two don't stop it i'll tell your dad when he gets home. If I was getting a wash i would turn the hot water tap on Mum this water's not getting hot, she would say well hold your finger there long enough and it will get warm. When I went out I would ask mum if I would need a coat, she would say yes! because it's going to rain or no the sun will be out soon. I thought my mum was a very clever person, but as I got older I realised that we had cold water which was in the pipes befor it became hot. Also I found out that she would watch the weather forcast. So this was how mum knew if you had to take a coat with you or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanB 13 Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 If ever I hurt myself my Mum would say "you'll die after it." Then she'd explain that because it had already happened, I couldn't die before it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 If anyone was ever caught picking their nose... (Not me obviously because I am perfect..).. my Mum would say. "Do you want a Button Hook?" 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DJ360 6,712 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I used to go and stay with my cousin in Coventry. Early 60s. It was quite enlightening.. Being backwards down there.. they still called 'Cobs' 'Batches', and 'Suckers'.. 'Lollies'. Mind you, 'Er Indoors' who is a Scouser..calls Cobs 'Barm Cakes', Suckers 'Lolly Ices', Carrot and Turnip 'Pot Herbs' and so on.. She also used to console our kids...on getting a graze/bruise or somesuch.. with the phrase 'Pigs Foot in the Morning'. They're all barmy up here.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted October 30, 2021 Report Share Posted October 30, 2021 I reckon I'm now at an age where young people can accuse me of being one of those oldies who says strange things which the younger generation think amusing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
