The Manc abbreviation for petrol

Chirpy small time Cockney crooks used to fill up with that.

 

There isn’t one. As you were.

 

Good to see a few call it "tit", was hoping though to see a decent explanation of why.

 

God Bless Hooky Street Viva Hooky Street
Tre Magnifique.



Used to call it Petny as a kid..."Get some petny for't Bonty

 

Not Longsight then?

 

Certainly not... "Siphon some go jewse mate" Is Longsightian I believe

 

I resemble that remark

 

I reckon this is a North Manc/Lancs term, but I've searched the internet and can find nothing...?

 

Perhaps we should all agree to simply call it "P" if we are looking for an abbreviation?

As in "I'm just whizzing round the corner to fill her up with P"

 

say it in a robot voice.
