Nother amshir saying, sumwen. --- at some time.
My oh being a maid of Kent is always calling junctions,--two went ways or three went ways.
Her Granddad when he had eaten too much always said that he felt like a hop-garden toad with side pockets.
Be good to hear of other local sayings.

First mechanic looked at the problem and then shouted up to No 2 mechanic up on the 1st floor of the spares dept 'Ha yer go' a top owse up there bouey?' Made Oi laff. They fixed it.
