    One that's now common parlance in Château Longshanks is 'yoursen'.

    At the end of a chat to Dave D he said 'look after yoursen'.

    So there's a little slice of Yorkshire in South West London.



    Quite a few decent cutties out today. It's not 'cuties', is it, Pete H?

    Sorry. I stand corrected. My son will love that even more!

    Can you give me an example of how you'd use 'as tha lecking'?

    We've got pony this way. As in 'this screwdriver's pony (and trap)'.

    Hock? Class. I heard an old boy refer to his Germans (German bands) being filthy. But I don't really hear rhyming slang any more.

    No mate, it's cutties in the plural, cutty in the singular.

    As in Cutty Sark. The ship.

    I wonder where the term Cutty comes from. Any thoughts, shipmate?

    I have absolutely no idea Lambeth, they were always called cutties when I was a kid, it means a wanton or unchaste woman in Scotland apparently, but in Northern Ireland it just means female, nothing derogatory about it.

    Following recent days I realised that not everyone calls wasps, Jaspers. No idea why they are called Jaspers though. The missus calls them Wobbies.
