Re: lost dialect
I think that this old saying will be recognised by some members:
"KICK ONE AND THEY ALL LIMP"
I think this may answer your question on another thread Jaysay.

My dad always said "Can't stand cheeky kids when they reach middle age and still think they are 'Gods gift' the middle age spreads to the brain as well as the middle bits"

You knew your father?
Well that is a suprise.

I can't think of a situation in my whole life where I have come across a more objectionable individual.
I barely knew my father because he was killed in Burma when I was five years old.
He left me a legacy...."never accept the word or statement of a person who does'nt know which direction he/she is going"
I think if you look at the forums you will find that it is you who are stalking not me...........I have no intention of striking the ignore button as far as you are concerned, I want to see how many times in a very short period you will come out with a smart arsed comment a make yourself look a right prat. AGAIN

Yes it it was. Though she never thought of herself as ever being old, or foolish, even if she was a Conservative.

Lily was never old Rindi, she didn't have time to grow old she was to busy enjoying herself, I was very sorry when she died as I was in hospital at the time and couldn't go to the funeral. I used to sit on the next table in Ossy Con every Saturday night, and we always had a good laugh

That's lovely, thank you.
Even though we'll probably never agree on politics, it was her thinking yourself, Peter, and Ken were 'nice lads', that I know you aren't all bad.

Bernard and Ivy were good friends of mine Roy, although they were only ever stand in stewards at the Con. I'm the logest serving member of Ossy Con, been member since I was 16 (young conservative, then full member at 18) although it is now known as Ossy Social club, but still retains its Con Club status, The Nash (Straights club) is still open but I haven't been in for years, my neighbour up stairs Jack Whatmore still goes in occasionally. The only other club still open in Ossy is the Stanhill club, although St. Marys church have a social club on Lock Street, near the Town Hall and there is Church cricket club as well
