    If it was uttered by folk from Sunderland it's more likely to have been a Mackem expression. They're sensitive about this up there, the Geordies are from Noocastle!

    As I said further up - it's a Guernsey sweater - oiled wool

    As opposed to a Jersey sweater - lambswool

    A long time ago Burton's Corner (end of Eldon Street & bottom of Market Hill) had a two rail barrier. It was affectionately known as the "Laik Rail". It's where miners with a sore head would gather on 'Collier's Monday'.There is an apocryphal story that relates to your post. Apparently a stranger pulled up in his car and asked for directions to the Lake District. The response was " Nay lad, tharrin it".

    I rest my case on 'ganzee', 'gansey' etc.
    As to the original point of the thread there's a difference between dialect and accent. If the course is a proper Yorkshire dialect course it will throw up some good uns I'm sure.

    Tha knows if tha thinks abart it... Accent is the way certain common words are pronounced. Dialect is the specific language spoken by people in an area. So I would say that laikin is Yorkshire dialect and abart is accent. I'm no language expert but that's best a can du.. Sum smartarse on ere will ev a gu at mi for explainin like that but theer tha guz.

    My OP made reference to the superbly colourful use, in the present participle, of the word "baba", which I believe to be somewhat locally sourced.

    So thank you Peter Doyle.
