Good old Scots words there Parlane,
Loads to choose from but 2 I remember well are things my late mother used to say were,
"shut yer geggy" (Mouth)
Or "haud yer wheesht".

Fair Scunnered or Going the Messages - when I worked down South the messages quote always confused the locals so I used it all the time?.

22.) 04 Nov 2023
04 Nov 2023 09:02:27
Did they get the message.
We had a pully in our lobby it was for hanging the washing on, you unwrapped the string to get it down and pulled string to raise it up.
That's probably why it was called a pully.
I'm sure we used to call marbles (jorrys) .
