September 9, 200916 yr Gotfot I really hate that word. It means nothing, it's just lazy gobbledygook!
September 9, 200916 yr GotfotI really hate that word. It means nothing, it's just lazy gobbledygook! Jibberish, woman. Fot comes from the old English 'for to'. Perfectly acceptable English to be encouraged. Edited September 9, 200916 yr by bolty58
September 9, 200916 yr 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!
September 9, 200916 yr Rubbish, man. You put 'for to' in a modern sentence and tell me it makes sense. It won't. It's just lazy English! I've just been to Aldi and it was a pound for to loaves of bread
September 9, 200916 yr I've just been to Aldi and it was a pound for to loaves of bread P.S. Aldi? You scutter! Tsk!
September 9, 200916 yr 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. Anyway, gotfot go t'bed now. Sithee int morn yer cloth eared bint
September 9, 200916 yr Rubbish, man. You put 'for to' in a modern sentence and tell me it makes sense. It won't. It's just lazy English! swing low sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home
September 9, 200916 yr Rubbish, man. You put 'for to' in a modern sentence and tell me it makes sense. It won't. It's just lazy English! Didn't we beat the Germans for to in 66?

September 10, 200916 yr It is classical English - a remnant of medieval England. 'Fot' or 'fert' should be used a lot more on here. Anyway, gotfot go t'bed now. Sithee int morn yer cloth eared bint I work in Chester and when I say "I've gotfot go bank" they look baffled. I'll continue educating the cretins...
September 10, 200916 yr I work in Chester and when I say "I've gotfot go bank" they look baffled. I'll continue educating the cretins... do you work with lots of people from welsh wales with really strong accents despite livign 1 mile inside the welsh border? Works the same for me. i have to educate you lot when i come up to bolton. fancy not using terms like "sound lad" and "alreet lid"

September 10, 200916 yr 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
September 10, 200916 yr 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?
September 11, 200916 yr 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?
September 11, 200916 yr 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 Yes, as my son informs me, It's sick innit! i think it means good.

Works the same for me. i have to educate you lot when i come up to bolton. fancy not using terms like "sound lad" and "alreet lid" 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.
