Bommy in Blackley.

I thought it was a Bomfire for many years, until I moved away from Blackley.

Bommy in Shaw

We used to go into the cotton mills and the lads there would sort out broken packing cases and wicker skips for us. Put them in a circle, skips on top, a few old doors and planks across the top and you've got a den. We used to smoke in there, how the cotton never set on fire and burnt us to death I'll never know.

WTF is a bonty? I have never heard of a Bommie being called that in my life. What area is it known as a bonty? Please enlighten me so I can avoid it. Has to be full of not rights where ever it is.
