Yes, I heard that as a kid in Farsley/Calverley/Pudsey.Since I've lived in Bradford I've heard blegging used as "going blackberrying" -gathering fruit, that is, not picking up e-mails on a mobile phone.

In Morley the term "fresh" means having had one or two to drink - not drunk just lubricated. I'm not sure whether it's peculiar to Morley or a general Yorkshire term.Certainly "capped" meaning surprised seems something Morley people will say that you don't find elsewhere in the West Riding

"fresh" also used for someone being over amourous.
