Morls Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 "they may pull the plug," Even better... We won't have to traipse round the NEC and can just get the Comma Girls, Westy girls & Racing Motorbikes to come straight to the evenin' do (which, without the hassle of a show, could start at midday).

moomin Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 were there really Westy girls? ha, that company just went down in my estimation... hope it wasn't the tea lady from the factory 😬 M www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Birtwisle Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 I like that Westfield tea lady - she gave me a splendid cuppa and called me "me duck" ❗ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FH Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 That reminds me of when I first came back from Bermuda and settled in Westbury-on-Trym (so-called slightly posh bit of Brizzole) Walked into first shop and was greeted by fat middle-aged lady who called me "moiy luvverr" Same thing in the next shop. Began to wonder if I was wearing the wrong clothes 😳 FH p.s. I've never heard a yellow belly say "me duck" *confused* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morls Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 My gran's from the west midlands and she always used to give me savoury duck as a treat, and Haslet which may have contained duck, and Brain's Faggots, which are probably banned by some euro rule now (I have no idea what was in them ). But she never called me 'Duck'. Isn't it folk from Notts/South Yorks that do the 'Duck' thing? Sort of like.... "Ahhh Rahht me duck" Mark ☹️ My Caterham Silver Jubilee No. 7 is for sale ☹️ But it's OK, I've got another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 "Mi duck" is good South Yorkshirese Must now go and look up "Haslet" in Oxford Compendium of Food. Never heard of it .... Hunslet near Leeds... yes .. but Haslet ... no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WindyMiller Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Can back up Notts doing the "duck" thing, as I was startled to be called it by a guy driving a "buzz", when I was there as a student. Try coming out my way "awl roite mee Boi" Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FH Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 Haslet is usually made from sheep's entrails; faggots are a mixture of pig's liver, bread and spices Excuse me, I must depart . . . ... ... .. rather rapidly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted January 15, 2003 Share Posted January 15, 2003 FH - thanks for that picture - I think I'll stick to the duck Mrs Boonie, who comes from the deepest, darkest depths of leicestershire has heard her fellow countyrmen say me duck.

moomin Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 I'm from deepest darkest... West Midlands, not far from the W*stfie*d factory. Can't recall having heard being called 'me duck' particularly, but can concur that the tea lady at the factory makes a nice cuppa. She's a bit like that one off 'Acorn Antiques' but a bit less dappy. 😬 M. www.megabird.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Thanks FH ...wish I hadn't asked ... was reading River Cottage book last night (parents neighbours gave us some home cured/smoked bacon which was fab, and want to make my own) - and I got to the bit about making black pudding, stirring a bucket of fresh blug to get the "stringy bits" out. Not the image you need before going to sleep I did spent my first months in Yorkshire wondering who this famous "Izzy Eckerslike" was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 16, 2003 Author Share Posted January 16, 2003 the engineering bit is FANTASTIC. the rest of it was tat. they need to find some better "filler" type stuff to get a load of punters in so the rest of us can see the engineering stuff. would be VERY bad if it was stopped ☹️ HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boonie Hound Posted January 16, 2003 Share Posted January 16, 2003 Moomin - Can you see it on the trolley. You truly are from the West Midlands - I had never heard the phrase dappy until I met the wife (although I don't get out much). Do you also say upskittle - or is that just made up by Mrs Boonie 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted January 17, 2003 Author Share Posted January 17, 2003 i (occaisionally) use dappy. but i'm from a bit further west than mommin.... HOOPY 500 kg R706KGU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
