Here's one for you David, From a Cockney.

I was on the Dog and Bone, would you Adam and Eve it, They have all gone Marbles and Conkers on this forum.

Some like a Jack and Dandy, some like Top Hat,

We all comment on the Lemon and Lime, and the Two and Eight of this country.

Well I like Pick and Mix, now wanting the Pleasure and Pain to stop, and Current Bun to come out.

P.S No longer have the Mop and Bucket in the Lollipop now.

Goodness me it's nearly chopsicks,

How about this one Gold Watch.

Nice one Liz - you told them. Anyway I think we are lucky to be born as we are. There is many a person who is suffering from either mental or physical health and would love to be Scottish, Welsh or whatever if only they had their health. Be thankfull for what you are as there are far worse off than you.

Hi Liz,

It's Welsh from the valleys, Butt or Butty is a good friend or mate.

Not like a sandwich from the Lancashire Treacle Mines, which can be "a chip butty" or your preferred filling, mine is Egg & Bacon.

Frank another old Welsh valley saying is "wus" an English mutation from the Welsh "gwas" meaning friend. So if any of you non Welsh are referred to as wus from a Welsh person it is meant in the friendliest possible way relating to you as being a friend.
