Quite a different meaning if you're an American film maker, I suspect. |

hi all my family`s from nottinghamshire (hucknall) and `put wood in`th ole` was a regular saying by both sets of grandparents . although one set moved over here in 1933 to blackpool . so wether it was a local saying from here or from notts ive no idea . other favorites from the nan and grandad that moved over here was `mash t` , make a cuppa , and also if you asked her anything and said `y nana` she`d say `cause y`s a crooked letter and you cant straighten it ` god knows where that comes from !!!! theres probably loads more when i get round to thinking about it . o yeah i started doing my family tree a few years ago and obviously i new all my family were from notts which was`nt a problem i was quite comfortable with the fact that im a proud lancashire lad born in blackpool , sandgrown`en and all that . and the family were all from the midlands , i can live with that . i went back two generations before my grandparents and found out to my absolute disgust that were `southerners !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! devastated !!! all our lot were from the home counties , ive never got over it to this day . after all the things ive said about southern pansies/softies !! its brought it all back im gonna have nightmares tonite !!!!! by for now regards andy

Hi, Heres a few local words you might not have heard, Barn't ,without Baint, Must not or will not. Fettle, make or repair Ow'ert Brush ,unmarried couple, wrong side o, blanket, children born out of wedlock.(Many children born to inmarried mothers were brought up as there own by their parents or other married relatives ) so caution must be used when looking at old documentsI know of a few local cases that would suprise you! Child'a,Children Besum, bad tempered woman Chunner, mutter, complain. Shune ,shoes, Flit ,leave move, Gawp, stare Moonlight Flit, leave in a hurry without telling anyone, Keller, Parafin Donkey Stone a white or sand coluored soft stone used to clean front door steps.(got from Rag and Bone men in exchange for a few rags.) Gat'e as in I mu'n be ga,in,(I must be going) Powfact, tired Flumeked, puzzeld dont understand also worried Mu'n must Mon Man Yo'n that ga'n go, went Bar'm Pot,nutter Irnin, farmers who start making their own cheese (I think its from the word Irnin tub), Gobby, someone who talks a lot mostly rubbish,(i think some think its applies to me) So i'll stop M'e Blatherin and sling m' e hook, (shut up and leave) Pity my Uncle Bill Wood is no longer with us, you would have been hard pressed to understand a word he said.
