My Dad always used to say "Tha nesh thee" whenever I wanted to put a jumper on because I felt cold. Wearing a t-shirt in freezing weather was somehow a badge of honour to him. I still don't know what nesh means or if I'm spelling it right.
If my Dad was on nights and the weather was bad my Mam would look out of the window and say "It's not fit to turn a dog out. Don't forget your snap."
Slightly not as the original post cos mi father still says the same.. Leave any light on in the house... 'It's like Blackpool illuminations in ere' Or every so often.. Like Heathrow runway wi all lights on... ....It's not tho fatha is it
