[Football] You can't get much more northern than this ...

[GOM]

(Hard g in West Yorkshire (begin is a hard g), soft g in South Yorkshire sounds like jennel.

Interesting. I always think of the g in begin as soft and the g as in gin as hard.
So in West Yorks where I've lived for a while with a west Yorks lass who calls them (be)ginnels

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Also CleckHeckmondSedge - I grew up around there, amongst the ginnels, and now live amongst the twittens...

I went up there aged 22, and returned to twittens (where I grew up) in my 60s.

Similar story but not looking like a return is on the cards.

There was a window of opportunity around 2003/2004 so I jumped at it. I enjoy visiting but always glad to return to GOSBTS. My son stayed there.

Admit your age by recalling the Lion's name

Wallace. Pretty much everyone over 60 will know that

As I did.

Snickets are called ginnels (soft g as in begin) around West Yorkshire. My mum from Kent referred to them as twittens as did I.

Twitten is of course a Sussex word.....

Did you ever "cut through snicket"

Snicket, Ginnel, Twitten, Flutester, Jinnel / Jennel / Gennel, Alley / alleyway, Ten-foot, Jigger / Jigga, Entry, Jitty, Passage, Gulley, Twitchell, Shuts, Snickleways, Gauts, Wynds, Chares, Pend, Close, Opes, Cracks, Scores, Lonning, Lokes, Drong - they all mean roughly the same thing in different parts of the country. Never expected this topic to come up on NSC!

 

[Dave the OAP]

Begs the question who did the other one marry?

My grandfather..a wilcock. Hence me

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Damn, beaten to it.

“Haggerty F, Ferris, Noble, Codren, Crapper, Davis, Sullivan, O’Grady, Kembell, Hacker and Davitt"

 

[Dave the OAP]

I knew some Boothroyds in that neck of the woods.

Heckmondwike and Cleckheaton. When working at the electricity board, we referred to that area as CleckHuddersFax.

Cleckheaton. My dads cousin Ronnie live in Cleckheaton. Wonder if it was one of the family.

When dad died, my mum cut herself off from his side of the family and therefore I probably have many cousins etc in parts of Huddersfield...after looking into the family tree on dads side, the Wilcock's came from Halifax, Calderdale originally and were all mill workers.

Think I’ve mentioned it before, my great grandfather on my mum’s side owned a Turkish bath in Huddersfield. Not sure of date but I guess it would be turn if the Century.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Lucky for Ramsbottom they didn't get an away tie in Wales, otherwise they'd be returning home rather sore...

 

[patchamalbion]

Just to ice the cake the winner plays Horsham next.
Ramsbottom won't be looking forward to that grim northern outpost.

Thought they had Weymouth after they controversially went through as Needhan Market refused to play the replay??

Where abouts in town? I remember some buildings that we used to call baths which is where the university buildings are now. .

Not entirely sure, but I’ll endeavour to find out. Pretty sure that side of the family moved to Brighton in the 1920s as my mum was born in 1936 and her dad was quite young when he got to the promised land.

I always thought this was a Python Sketch but due to the Wonders of You Tube I find I am wrong...

Aye......some at Workington weren't too thrilled at the prospect of playing Weymouth because , apparently, the distance involved meant that Weymouth could claim the cost of an overnight stop out of the gate money.

& it's ginnell round Bolton/Manchester.
