Did you call a bonfire a bonty or a bommy?

[Deepest Blue]

What a shit thread. Only in the wilderness between stalyvegas and yonner-land do such silly terms exist. I wish FI would come back and sort this shit out.

Where’s the overpaid, coffee addict gone?

Not sure. I miss his firm but fair approach and he kept a lid on pervs like beamer and musty.

Bonty.

Neither you mad bastard.

A bommy, bonny or bonfire.

Bonty seems to be some yonner/tameside wierd version only spoken by the hills have eyes types.

As they are on the border it probably hails form yorkshire or some other backwater in the east.

Oi, Dukinfield is in Cheshire mate not Tameside. :)

Always called it a bommy In Hulme.

My grown-up brother was asked to light the local bommy one year in the 70’s, when I was a kid. It was like being related to a celebrity!
