Now that's a thought, it could well be. His monologs were very well known in all UK homes.

J. Marriott Edgar was the man. I had a book of his monologues once and I was so upset when I realised it had disappeared. I can still manage to get through most of "There's a famous seaside place called Blackpool" etc ( Albert & the Lion) and I still have a cd of Stanley Holloway reciting them. Just a bit of nostalgia for an expat. Like my George Formby tapes, I am only allowed to play them in the car when I'm by myself!!! Cheers. |

After dinner, did you ever 'side' the table ? (clearing away) Yes we used to "side pots" at the end of a meal What about "blegging" ie blackberrying? My mother was brought up in Silsden & believes it to be a term very local to Cobbydale |

'Nathen’ as a greeting, was not unusual when I was a kid. But when I worked on the parks as a student many years ago (50), some of the men I worked with used the variation ‘nathen then’ , the ‘then’ of ‘now then’ being absorbed into the first word, necessitating an added ‘then’. Two of them certainly came from farms around Oakworth … was the expression local to them?

It was certainly used in Cross Roads area and Haworth too. Cheers.

Now then said as one word: 'nah-then' was used in Halifax too. I still say it today. And 'Howdo' is usually replied with 'Allreight'.
Does anyone say 'appen' around here?

Love this thread - I have a 'thing' about the loss of dialect words and insist on using them so my daughter will continue (I hope) some of our folk heritage. I grew up in Bradford in the 1940/50s and 'naup' was only applied to a blow to the head eg you had to avoid nauping your head on the cupboard door etc. Recently I found out that the church beadle traditionally had a staff which he could use to tap sleepy worshippers and choirboys on the head - a 'nauping stick' !
To add to clogger's post, another expression was being 'throng as Throp's wife'. And you have to be Yorkshire to appreciate the nuances of not being able to 'thoil' something!

The word 'naup' was also used in a different way as well as the one you describe. I've heard the expression 'I'd like to give her a good nauping' and I'm sure they weren't intending to knock the lady on the head with a stick.

Has anyone come across barn = going, I'm barn to Keighley or I'm barn t'mi mothers Barn is surely spelt 'bahn' ie as in the German 'Bahn' - ie a road or route (Eg Autobahn) |
