Marbles

At school we used to play marbles! amongst them we had "Glamogs" "Bollies" "Frenchies" and of course "Marbs"... Mum used to "bool" us down the "tenfoot" in our "Tansad" later known as a "Tanny"... When out on my pushbike better known as a "Shove Iron" We would give each other a "croggy" we would stop at the local "Chippy" and get a "Patty" and chips! if the "Patty" gets stuck in your throat it would make you "Balk". I think I’ll stop there and someone else a chance. "Toorah"

    I have lived in Leeds for the past 12 years but still have my strong East Hull accent which I am proud of. I lived in Hull from 1965 to 1993 and was 30 when I left. I still have my sayings and people do look when I go over on my ankle and say that I have cockled! They have no idea what a tenfoot is. My husband is Leeds born and I surprise him with the things I come out with. The only time I have ever twagged off though was when I was 13 in order to meet The Goodies! LOL!

    when we first moved onto Branny; the fordyke drain was still running through the estate and as kids we would get big sticks and hook a clump of drain weed finding each climp full of "Tiddlers" and "Boot Laces" (baby eels). later we would go "Apple Chudding" or sometimes even knock on the tree owners door and ask if we could collect their "WinFalls" (apples that had fallen naturally) sometimes we got "chowed" at!

    If anyone complained to my Grandma that they were hungry she would reply "Ay & I’m angry so we’ll fight. Also if anyone remarked that a particular couple didn’t seem suited to each other she used to say "As He makes them He pairs them. She had dozens of these sayings & the trouble is as my sister & I get older we find we are coming out with them more & more. Scary thought.
