johnh Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Inspired this song https://g.co/kgs/G1ZyJR White was married to a Yorkshire lass. Reminds me of the story about a Yorkshire lass living in America. She joined a health and beauty class and in her first lesson the instructor shouted out 'hands on thighs'. No one could work out why she was stood with her hands over her eyes. Cornish Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 One of my favourites is 'Two Scotsmen in a voice activated lift'. Subtitles needed! My dad always used to say (when meeting a Scotsman)... "It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht the nicht." No idea if he knew what it meant .

johnh Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I used to work with a geordie who wold say "belter" when something was good. 'Belter' was fairly common. If someone scored a good goal it was a 'belter'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vranny Posted April 3, 2017 Report Share Posted April 3, 2017 I used to work with a geordie who wold say "belter" when something was good. Belter gets used in Australia too, mostly to describe good batting cricket pitches for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
