Alberta, I still go all around the Wrekin looking for things.

Do any of you use the word 'Beins' ? eg;" Beins it's still light you can stay up a while longer", " Beins I've got five bob you can go to the flicks". I use this word a lot and my kids have picked it up too, but never relised untill one of Angela's boyfriends pointed out he'd never heard it used before.
