Re: Old local expressions
As children we would earwig on adult conversations.
If we asked who the grown ups were talking about, the answer was 'im in neet wit' rag arm'
Someone(usually female) who was no better than they ought to be, was said to be 'neawt a peauwnd, and muck's tuppence....and that's at bumpin' weight'
Someone with a loud voice was said to be able to 'whisper over three fields...Sheffield, Huddersfield and Chesterfield'
