Mankers a sheffield word

Do folk still mank ,I mean do the old lounge lizards still exist ,the guys and galls who propped up the bars of down Town Sheffield in the 60's, 70's and 80's .

 

They were easy to spot ,shiny suites ,open neck Hawaiian shirts ,medallions , shiny shoes with buckles in chrome ,over the ear hair with just a spot of grey pepper coming through .

 

Out side would be parked the ten year old Jag or Granada , vinyl sun roof .chrome stripes and back bench seat in leather that came in handy if the flashing smile and chat up line had worked while buying the latest target a half of Stones or if a really special then it would be a Baby Cham or Pina Colada ..

 

These little illations often lead to a more long term relationship and some times DIVORCE , then after ten or twenty years the medallion and shiny shoes had been lost in rammell drawer to be replaced by cardigan and trainers ,this new attire now worn in the same bar by the old Lounge Lizard who still has the chat but wonders why it no longer works on the new kids on the block who seem to be no longer into the old manking of yester year and now seem to hop into bed at the drop of a hat .

Another Sheffield term mentioned by Albert, the “rammel drawer”. A tradition still alive and well in our house.

Any more mankers mankin as its the party season where the odd bit of hows your father rises the trouser snake 

It's alive and well here in the DR, Cuttsie.

 

There's a lid for every pot!

 

Even prostitution is legal, 

 

Don't want to get into the "expolitation" debate, but needless to say the local ladies of the night have developed the fine art of relieving ageing Lotharios from Leeds of their worldly goods, and sending them back skint, but with a smile on their face.

 

And more than a few insurance widows, can find a young virile local "escort" to make their stay memorable!  :)
