Do you not remember the god awful 'sitcom' "bread"?

 

Written by a scouser - so it can't be unique to Sheff

There was a man on the programme "Bread" and he kept rabitts in the back I think

He was the bloke that in real life was married to Gail from Coronation Street,

Sorry have I gone off the subject and confused everyone.

The bloke who kept rabbits in the back was in 'Boys from the Blackstuff'. He was married to the Julie Walters character. Yosser was in it too - 'Gissa Job. I can do that'. How could you get the two confused?

Ken Bleasdale I think. Certainly wasn't no comedy but it had it's moments. Chrissy he was called. I remember he shot the rabbits.

was I confused, I am sure they all sat round a big table in the kitchen, dont remember that programme being in NZ, may be wrong though

Something which is also Sheffieldish is to have a pot on your leg, meaning having your leg (or arm) in plaster.

 

And don't worry, it's a just a local annoying habit for people, when writing dialect (NOT slang) to forget syntax andwriteallthewordstogetherlikethis.

 

Here's a thing from the BBC about the problems Austrian doctors had in South Yorkshire. It's about Doncaster, which is a bit different, but OK as an introduction.

Enjoy thisen!

I still call it a pot on the leg, and that website is interesting, I have sent it to a couple of people, dont remember the one for vomitting though.

When I first came to NZ, people had trouble understanding me also, but now I have no problems, but its sad to think I have lost some of the slang also, as it was part of my life back then.

Its great to catch up on all these old memories

Liver birds, one of the girls brothers, lucien he was called,wasn't in bread i don't think(sorry bit off topic)

Was really surprised "washing the pots" was unique to sheffield, something i say without a second thought.
