I asked if they had a cheese and onion bap once in a sandwich shop in Derby and going by the look on the woman’s face I think she thought I’d accused her of having a smelly fanny.
All of a sudden I’m regretting my decision to turn vegetarian.faggot chips and peas = one all in
I always remember 'It's time for bathtime with uncle!'
Is that a Coventry thing, or more nationwide?
We used to say "It's black over Bill's mother's". I think that was because Bill (Shakespear) was from Stratford which is South West of Coventry, the direction from which the prevailing wind came, bringing rain.Don’t think that’s a Coventry thing.
More like an Otis family get-together.
As for an entry....when I lived in Lancaster back in late 70s no one understood ‘entry’ but used term ‘ginnel’ or ‘jitty’ instead.
My mum and gran also used term ‘over Bill’s house’ if there was a chance of rain but not raining yet. Eg I might say it’s not raining yet but they would respond ‘but it’s raining over Bills house’. Don’t know if that just cov or elsewhere.

Indeed, our entry is gated (both ends) too, very happy with it's detterent of chavs hanging around and would be burglars.The last time I was in Coventry, I noticed all the 'entries' I used to use had been gated and padlocked. A security thing I suppose.
Plus Bedworth, sorry...I mean Beduth.I knew a girl once who was from Nuneaton so I don't know if this is just a Nuneaton thing but instead of pronouncing 'buses', she would say 'buzzes'.
I'm not sure if the 'z' was only used in the plural or the singular as well.
Does anyone know if this is a Nuneaton only thing?

I think you'll find that in Derby, 'bap' means vagina.I asked if they had a cheese and onion bap once in a sandwich shop in Derby and going by the look on the woman’s face I think she thought I’d accused her of having a smelly fanny.
A lot of that stuff was used in Southam too when I grew up in the 70s. I don't think it is particularly a Coventry thing.

Whilst we are at it, we've all used slang and slang changes year by year. So why do people moan about the 'youth' and the slang being used now.
You bunch of saps.
