below is to a small site of 'Black Country' sayings. The 'Black Country' is the
old industrial heart of England. Some of the Sayings I recognise as being used
well outside that part of England. Do others use them too?
: NB Please note
lack of apostrophies!
- but you've made up for it with that extra I ;-)
I'm familiar with about a third of these, but there's only one that I'd consider
using myself: daft ha'p'orth. They certainly smack of that area north of Watford
which we Southerners call the North.
