grinder Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 (edited) We all lived on top of each other and "woe betide" a new neighbor who didn't conform, keep a tidy hearth, donkeystone her steps, or be proud of her washing displayed on the line, or even worse, flirted with a neighbours husband. Tongues would wag! We were all living in onener nuther pockets , an every body knew everybody elses business......

Tommo68 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 if something is not plumb i still say its cockled over, only found out the other year from a non sheffielder there is no such word. Just because dictionarys attribute other meanings to 'cockled' does not mean our version is wrong, just that they did not do their research thoroughly. If you let others dictate their standards on and to you ...then they will. cockled ower..however you choose to spell it can mean anything from not vertical to turned upside down. A pet hate is people trying to tell others how to spell both yorkshire and sheffieldish. It is spelled the same as most people spell things. If you are trying to spell it phonetically to enable correct pronunciation please stop putting t' in wherever you feel like it. Its typical of none native speakers and makes the writer look a prat. something on a shelf is .....ont shelf almost becoming one word on t' shelf ...looks as though it was written by an ignorant academic here's one more for the list..... laikin ... also not in any standard dictionaries ... meanings dependent on context playing messing loitering hanging around ....distinct from loitering . .

marj boz Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Sorry but I thought this was you trastrick 23-06-2013, 11:28 I remember Pete Scholey's mum Connie. Her and my Nanan were good friends. My Nanan was Eva Parkin and she lived with her parents Edgar and Eva Stocks on Myrtle Road, opposide the cobbles on Heeley Green. My mum Carol Parkin born 1944 went to Heeley Bank school, as did her brother Ronnie Parkin who is a few years older. Yes, I remember Connie, she was a single mother at the time and working. Me and Pete set up their cellar kitchen to make small tables and stools, but we never finished the first one. He did go on to be a joiner though. Last I heard Pete was in South Africa. My granma Caswell lived across the road at 348, next door to my pal Hewie Keenan. Another pal Frank Roncksly lived a couple of doors down. I do remember Ronnie at Heeley Bank, a year or two older than me. He played football for the school. (I hadn't heard that term "cobbles" in 60 years.)
