Been discussing this at work. My grandad used to say, amongst others, 'put wood in th'ole' & 'well I'll go t' foot of our stairs' & 'well I'll go to our house'.

 

My manc/stoke colleagues didn't know what the hell I was on about!

Dolled up.

ha ha, I use that one

Did you sack him for gross stupidity/negligence?

 

He was told not to do it, but still went ahead with blatant disregard for safety.

 

 

No mate. Just out of skoo and extremely wet behind the cab doors.

 

Bollocked him then felt sorry fert lad. He is actually going to be a good un. Natural mechanical aptitude.

Bolty will like this one.....

 

Years and years ago I was playing pool down in the General Havelock (there's one for the kids) after finishing work one Friday. Anyhoo, it was winner stays on and I happened to be the current champ. This old duffer challenges next and proceeds to say "I could beat thee whi a roouwed up buff"  -  which I take to mean he could beat me by not using a cue, but by indeed using a rolled up copy of the local sports newspaper.  -  that I think was the most Bolton/Lancy thing I've ever heard said

You should have said;

 

"And I could beat thee with a F.T."

 

Then proceed to twat him around the head and upper body with a 'Chelsea Brick' fashioned out of a broadsheet newspaper (produced from behind your back, like one of the Krays with their cutlass.) 

 

It was shut just before my drinking career commenced, but The General Havelock was one of the axis of 'rough' wasn't it? Alongside luminaries like The Griffin, The Ancient Shepherd, The Rocket and The Flying Shuttle?
