'What were they on about?' What Grandparents from Sheffield used to say.

[DUFFEMS 56]

"Put wood in't hoyle" (close the door).

My granny and grandad, looking at the darkened sky which basically looked like it was going to chuck it down, used to say 'By gum!, it's black over Bill's Mothers'....who was Bill & who was his mother????

Also I had the 'STOP teeming & ladleing' when I should've been washing the pots & not playing at pouring out tea.... I have friends that have never heard of this one!

 

Bill was his Mothers Husbands Son. His Mother was his Farthers Wife.

[1066 10]

I think that "fettling" is a word connected with the cutlery trade - probably cleaning or finishing.

I was given a company,(firms) car and paid the enormous salary of £1100 per year.

My Grandad said,"tha must 'av moor muney thn soft mick nar thas got't posh job in Lundun".

Who was Soft Mick, never did find out ?
