Used it in Eaglescliffe(Preston on Tees) many years agoNot sure how local as such, but if you were asking someone for a lift on their bike, would you say "gizza croggy/crossy" or "gizza tan"? Id never heard of Tan before until a lad I know said it years ago! Think it might only be used on certain estates in Boro?
I always got the mickey taken when I said filum or plarster when working away and I'm Boro ,born and bred.I've always thought, filum - is more mackem thing...
Now Then, as a greeting is a good shout..
i always say "do a nash"
I have a friend from Hastings and when we were first at college together, i'd say "now then" as a greeting which she could never get her head around, always asking "now then what?" met her quite by chance in Lanzarote (almost a year ago to the day as it happens) which is 30 years after we first met - how did she greet me? yep, "now then"
Wassock/ wazzock
'Croggy' was certainly used in Billog.Used it in Eaglescliffe(Preston on Tees) many years ago
My nana used to say "Whose let Polly out of Prison" not sure if that was a Cannon Street area phrase from the 1910s.
Anyone heard that one before?
