EileenH 496 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 My Mam, when referring to somebody who was a creep or a crawler would call them 'A fornicating little bu99er'. When I grew up I took evil delight in telling her that she probably meant 'fawning' and that the word she commonly used meant the same as a four-letter word beginning with the same letter. She was devastated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

denshaw 2,871 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Savings clubs, people used to save so much a week for Christmas or other occasions. My mother in law called it a "Didlum". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EileenH 496 Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 Oh yes! The didlum! Haven`t thought about that for many years. It was how our Mam saved up for our toys and the Christmas grub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted March 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 At the office in Raleigh I worked in, we had a didlum to save for something to buy, and a fuddle to save for a party or drinks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
