piscosour Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I remember going through everyones coat pocket at home looking for a tab end...always found one My dad's inside jacket pocket under the stairs was always a surefire bet - we weren't supposed to know that he smoked, so accusing me of nicking one would mean admitting that he was a smoker ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saxon51 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 Ah, those halcyon days, when asking a lass if she 'fancied a pull on your woody' didn't result in a slap and a visit to the magistrate's court. Only lasses had filters. "Like smokin' a soddin' tampon!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joto Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 In the past I've heard them referred to as 'cancer sticks' now that would be enough to put anyone off, you'd think:gag: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okismoki Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 when i was in armley,the baccy was referred to as "burn".one of the cons used to be fag mad,one day the trustees played a trick on him by putting broken glass in the landing bin,then told him some tab ends had just been put in,old casey trotted off,dived in arms first,cutting his hands quite badly,i could never understand cigs having that kind of a grip on people.

Lostrider Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 My old uncle was a deputy down Kiveton Pit. He used to chew tobacco when he was underground and rub it into flakes for his pipe when he was on top. He called it "shag". I remember him asking for it the shop. "An ounce of shag please luv". The smell was absolutely vile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okismoki Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 i remember fetching this "shag" for an old neighbour.one day a kid called barry caldwell came with me to the shops,as we walked in,barry saw it wasn,t mrs benton,but her teenage daughter,susan,who was serving...."watch this" he said......"can i have a shag?" susan went white and started shouting for her mother,barry ran off leaving me to explain to an irate mrs benton. old frank laughed his head off when i told him,and said ask for a plug of shag in future,which i made sure i did.

tasha_78 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 a few years ago I heard them called "cancer sticks" - very appropriate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lostrider Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I just remembered that there was another chewing baccy he used called "Twist". It's a funny coincidence that "Shag" and "Twist" are both dances in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
