Very strange, not even a word from the intrepid phill - hope he's not lost in a tunnel!

By the way is it a Leeds thing to always have Yorkshire puddings first then dinner, mi mam always did it and mi nanna did too, even I do now, dont half get some funny looks and comments. I agree, we 'ave a big pudding first and then a little 'un with the main Sunday dinner Blimey, thats a bit too much pudding!We did used to have Yorkshires before sunday roast on a seperate plate, it's the only way to have em, lathered in gravy.I also love cheese with chrissy cake, it is a yorkshire thing too.I also have had funny looks off of southern mates for eating tongue sarnies and saying I'd eaten tripe and bread and dripping.Don't think i've ever had scrag ends or chitlings though!

Now then ive just been speaking to my dad and while explaining this thread he mentioned pig latin, apparantly he struggled with it but he new a few who were fairly fluent with it, he was saying that it was spoken very quickly. He mentioned nergo which means no and something like wergo lergo please dont quote me, as anyone else any recollection of this strange dialect and is it from Leeds? Would be interesting to know or is he winding me up.By the way I think I have another one - Gloit = idiot.

Should have looked at Wiki first, what a gloit lol. I think what my dad was saying was that the kids had a form of it so the adults did not know what they were talking about?....Sorry.

They would speak it two us & i think most of it was swearing.Gloit, that a good one i hear my daughter say all the time.

Funny you should say that as thats where my dad and myself are from.................surley not an Harehills thing, mind you I think every other language is spoken there now HA!Gubbins seems to be used alot here in Lincolnshire, suppose it just means things?Which year you were 13?
