Actually Brenda it was Baz that started the 'vile' thread.
Nan used to say meat was 'rawmy' meaning well past it's sell by date.
and Fartin', meaning meagre,
Nan would say that, "see that?" pointing at her nose and glaring "moind it" usually to dad and if it was me, " it's fer me ta know an yow ta wonder"Another expression I've not heard any other than Brummies use.
If someone was sticking their nose into your business, the dialogue would go, (for example), . . "What ya goin' in there for ?"
The reply would be "Moind it !".
A cat lick. What my mom used to say if i hadn`t washed properly. Glarnies, something to do with marbles? Acky 123, something to do with hide & seek?, & my favourite, She`s/He`s got a face as long as Livery Street (someone who`s miserable).
If I remember correctly "Glarnies" were the big glass marbles which were very prized possessions.A cat lick. What my mom used to say if i hadn`t washed properly.

Well are David, if an item was poor quality Nan would describe it as tupperny aperny, if somebody was punched, they got a forpenny one. She also said if I fell over, you'll be as right as ninepence.'ea guzz Nico, Threpence or a threpny bit. Threpence aapny and a pennythree farthins. For what I remember a loaf of bread always seemed to have a farthing attached to the price even into the late forties and if the price went up by an aafpenny the baker was likely to get a gobfull. Regards, David.
