Yes, Milky, times were hard back then and shouldn't be forgotten....my mother came from a family of 10 and they all, amazingly, lived in a two bedroomed Tyneside flat in Preston Village, North Shields. We don't know how lucky we are these days but everything is relative I suppose.....I'm off to turn the central heating up!   |

when we were kids we used to "cowp wa creels" meaning simply doing forward rolls. |

I always think a funny phrase, question, in the Geordie vernacular is:- "Where worwa?" as in "Where worwa last neet?"........."Where were we last night".........said quickly it makes me laugh! ;D Sounds like "wowa"! |

Serbo-croat Jazz,
In serbo croat......Vi izaledaju kao pru ili piskitina bijelom oprati zid.
OK I used a translator.
In English........You like a streak of pee on a white washed wall.

Not absolutely sure, but I think it was Stanley Holloway.
