My grandad was always saying stuff I couldn't understand when I was younger, wish I could remember them now. :(

My grandad had one, can't remember what quite but "petty door bangers"?

Get t'foot of our stairs said in a Bolton accent was a favourite of my grandad.

My grandad always used to say "where's me doings" whenever he was looking for something he needed, his keys, the remote control, the rudder whilst out sailing...

It's said that the creator of coronation street used a poem called Bowton's Yard as his inspiration for writing the show.
