I can't believe that's a real name for a food item

Betwixt is a nice one.

Aye ye'd be guessing right by the way! Whit aboot it?  

(As you know I'm a regular visitor and it always amuses me that all national black charity donations are sent to Whitby twice a year, The Oxfam shop is always full)


Mrs Crossy has an expression, "Don't be so nesh!" Also has a habit of calling people a "melt!"

Liberty bodice - I remember my grandmother wearing one

groovy!

Belisha beacons were at Zebra crossings, not pelican ones.

I thought that meant a catwalk model!

I think they do now Daniel but when I were a bit of a girl they meant clothes airers

I use all the old words. It is a clothes horse!

We have no airers and graces in this house.

How about 'scallywag'

Camp coffee.

Wireless (that's what we used to call the radio)

Crimplene - whatever happened to crimplene?

Counterpane - Now called quilt/bedspread.

My old aunt God rest her soul used to say 'Mark you' as in 'I'll tell you what' or 'Mind you' etc...

Oh and when she told the time she'd five and twenty past or five and twenty to as opposed to twenty five past or twenty five to...

I will still say it occasionally now and get odd looks

I still use "nesh" and "clothes horse".
I didn't know people have tried to change the meaning. I wish someone would tell me.
Mind you I like "nesh" and "clothes horse" so I'll continue using them.

Ye need tae get yersel a lumbar afore ye start winchin' though.

Like a candlewick bedspread?

I think they were called 'Pill boxes' DJ... no idea why.. *shrug*

Darning. What's that all about?
"Let me buy you dinner"... haven't heard that in a long while...

Clothes rack. ( Them things you had to lower from  the ceiling with a rope) Split yer head open if the rope slipped

My OH mum has one of those, they call it a pulley? I would like one in the sun room, cos when it's cold the washing would still dry.

No Lowi, a pulley was the mechanism for lowering it, the drying rack is called a Sheila Maid

Something my mum used to say to me and now I say it to my daughter - Take your coat/jumper off as you won't feel the benefit when you go out...

I swore I'd never say the things my mum said but...

Bed spread
