Re: Old local expressions
As hard as a cobbler's lopstone.
A face as long as Solomon Samson's sow. Like a mule at a nettle early in spring. His e'en twinkled like a farthing rushlight. Quite young and all alive, like an old maid of forty five. Hoo howds up her yed like a new bowt tit. Yo 're puttin y'or yed in dog kennel neaw. On a bed a mon lee, that favvert he're wavin his last drawn o'life. I like summat at 's deed ov a knife. Keep yor heart eawt o' yor clogs. Stroke with one hand, and strike wit'other. As drunk as blazes. A mouse only has one 'ole, n is easily tekken in. A man might as well eat the Devil, as sup the broth he's boiled in. We're o' someburys childer. Owder and th' madder.

Re: Old local expressions
There's an Accrington accent recorded on this site, you can listen to.
English dialect vocabulary She talks about not being clammed.
