Bogies

[notthenorthernquarter]

Too many cars on the road for that sort of carry on now, playing out in the real sense is a thing of the past it's a sad truth but there it is.

It's fucking guiders not fucking boggys ! ! !

 

[blue by birth]

In the posh part of Manchester ( Cheetham Hill) we called them guiders .
Great times trying to get the fuckers to turn before you crashed into something...usually ended up with big bumps on your head and a lump of margarine to take the swelling down..or worse a badly scraped knee and having it cleaned with Dettol..ouch

Its bogey and its a muffin.

Guider, sounds like something our southern, shandy drinking jessies would say. Bogey, and whatever you crashed into was the brake.

Spot on about the brake! We had a phase in the late 70’s where we put motorbike handle bars on our bikes. I had a set from a Suzuki 250 trial bike - they were mint.

Bogies were villainous elf-like creatures that inhabited Boggart Hole Clough. Bogies was short for Boggarts. The planks with four wheels attached and a rope were called guiders!

This is correct. Especially when you got launched off coming down Angel hill. Talk about gravel rash.

Living in Gorton in the 1950's. if you wanted to find an old pram to get the wheels off, you just went down to the canal, there were loads in there.

I broke my front tooth in half falling off one when I lost control and planted my face on the road. Our kid went out to find my broken tooth, alas it was never to be seen again
