F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
 Following on from a conversation with Katex on facebook (Katex didn't know what belm was.) This is a fab photo of a woman doing belm. Who else remembers belm?  We belmed at someone when we thought they were lying.....e.g I won the lottery this weekend....BELM!!! I'd forgotten all about it until someone mentioned it yesterday and since then I've been belming at everyone! I haven't belmed so much on years! It's fab.....forget sticking fingers up, get belming!

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
'chinny recKON' with the emphasis on the KON and your fingers tapping your chin was another way of belming at our school

Re: F.A.O. Katex and anyone who remembers belm!
Our belming included a stroking of the chin.
When you were really good at it you could do one with just a slight downward movement of the lips, and a hardly visible chin thrust.

I always thought it had something to do with Jimmy Hill having a big chin because we used to say 'Jimmy Hill' sometimes and then 'reckon' meant - oh, you reckon that's right do you? Never heard 'racoon' before - perhaps a hearing test would have been in order |
