No pete you're not that pickled.

It involved lying down on your back and spinning round , bouncing off the walls, bouncing on your head etc.

Much too energetic for me - I've just got the hang of the twist (LOL).
See it around today in the clubs but hijacked by other dance communities.

Brilliant topic, lmao, as a good old lancashire guy born in the 50's I was brought up with most of these in everyday use, and have to say knew most of them, but couldn't think of them till I saw them in print, but I haven't got a clue what chumping is.

What with me being a country bumbkin us folk round are way talk a little bit differant no so much phrase's it's just that we butcher the english language.
Rite am gan ome = Right i'm going home confused

Dust here = do you here me
Waiter = water
Also a bit to the south of me is the famous Stoke phrase of
Cost kick a baw agan a waw an hed it till ye bost it :?
= Can you kick a ball against a wall and then head it untill you burst it
Apparently the water around here really is fit to drink :? well it hasn't done me any harm over the last 30 years :shock: honest dunno

Ah Mik69,
I grew up reciting that phrase.....apparantly when I was small I spoke in such a thick potteries dialect that no-one from "outside" could understand me.
All of a sudden, I inexplicably lost the accent! No one has any explanation as to why this may have happened- I hadn't moved or anything. Now I live down south and no one has yet been able to guess where im from.....
Weird.
I do NOT miss being calld "Duck" by everyone! I do, however really miss Oatcakes!

In fairness, I will freeze them all (apart from 6 or so...) until I next come up to vistit the rellies....well go to Alton Towers if im honest!
That way Im yours for the night, ( well week if u r sending a whole pallet) before I consume them all and end up the size of a small country!
Ordering a bigger freezer as I type. Hang on! If I was gonna come up there to "thank" you, I could have just bought the ruddy things myself! Oh sod it, thats not as much fun...and you do have a certified sexy shed there!
BTW, what do the locals do now that a certain "lake" by the name of ****port is no longer usable? I always ended up being taken there by boyfriends, or a certain elevated spot (with a folly) near Leek.
