Jibberish, woman. Fot comes from the old English 'for to'. Perfectly acceptable English to be encouraged.

Rubbish, man. You put 'for to' in a modern sentence and tell me it makes sense. It won't.

It's just lazy English!

It is classical English - a remnant of medieval England. 'Fot' or 'fert' should be used a lot more on here.

The word I most commonly hear, from the "youngsters" of the town, when walking round Bolton is "innit" at the end of every sentence...........not sure if that's traditional Lanky talk

Whereas the 'oldsters' have it at the beginning of their sentences.

 

Innit 'ot?

Innit cold?

Innit luvly?

Talking of intit, you could never convince my old grandad that there was a double negative in, In't it not?

 

Roughly translated to Is not it not?

To be fair there aren't that many with strong Welsh accents. Doesn't make them any less Welsh though and that's bad enough.
