Fish and chips with scraps and lots of salt and vinegar. A total no no now I would guess on health grounds, but yummy. Oh, and thick dripping with bits of meat still in on a sandwich with salt on! Surprised I'm still living!

I'm from East Leeds, so near enough to Hunslet. You popped "skeg" in deliberately Leo? Big north east Leeds word we used a lot in seacroft."Summat" was another although a drivation from the quens english. I was brought up in Osmondthorpe, so I'm an Ossy lad. Sort of between Hunslet and Seacroft. buffaloskinner mentions spice. I recall many years back mentioning spice in a shop in Lancashire and getting a totally baffled look and I had to explain it was a word for sweets. Talking of slang words is scraps still used when buying fish & chips as in "fish & chips with scraps on"?. There is no fish & chip shop near me, so I've not used one in very many years. Scraps in Leeds, scraps in Bradford.Bits in Huddersfield. There's even a chippy in Mirfield called "Wi Bits"Scratchings in Wigan, where I worked for twenty years.

Your right Si, But lots of these are somewhat new to t'game. And ' blackclock' was never a cockroach. It was just the common black beetle you can find in any garden/dark cellar et al.I never saw a cockroach until I was 18yrs. When the R.E's sent me a wandering abroad,( Middle East mostly). And I'd been using the word ' blackclock', for the common beetle from year blob. And as my pen-name suggests, I'm from the posh side of the river, East Street.
