or "aarrr, it thar't daft enuff ter fetch it fer me!" (or "daft enuff ter teck it back when ah'v dun wi' it!")

 

and the similar one

 

"well?

 

"well? what's a well, wi'out a bucket o' watter ter drown thee in!"

 

or "so?"

 

"what's tha meee-an, 'so?' Tha can't 'sew' wi'out a needle!"

 

and

 

we kids:- "Maaa-am, ahhh'm thirsty!"

 

Mum:- "I'm Friday, pleased to meet you" (or, alternatively, from my mother "I'm Irene, Pleased to meet you!"

 

"Weeeer's tha been?"

 

"Theeere and back, just ter see 'ow far it wuz!"

 

other conversations with my mother and the "lary" comments included

 

"Mam, can I 'ave a drink o' pop?"

 

"Nah, tha can get a drink o' watter!"

 

"But, mam ..." *groans*

 

"No! tha can get watter. Watter's what mecks 't'lions roar!"

 

If we asked what was for our tea, we'd be told "A run round 't' table, and a kick at t'cellar door!"

 

other pearls of wisdom from my mother were:-

 

" 'I want!' doesn't get!"

 

and "Them that asks, don't get. Them that don't ask, don't want!"
