words from our youth

[DelToro]

When we thought somebody was telling porkies we used to rub our chins and say "ooh ahh chickabeedee".

Not round here we didn't. You're not from Norfolk or somewhere are you ?

Middlewich stony, it's a strange place.

Living in Northwich I tend to agree with you.

Sken -as in "give us a sken" meaning "please let me have a look at (whatever the other had)"

Ginnel

Reccy - council park

Titty hanger - schoolyard football player who stood on the line to claim any goal by sticking his foot out to make last contact on the ball (no offside you see). Usually ended up booting the ball away from goal then got beat up.

Smacks - basically potatoes cut into slices and fried like chips. Okay, flat chips, then, but they had their own name.

Dobbies - Balls of bread boiled up in milk. They were f*cking rank.
