: : What does this phrase mean, and where does it come from?

: I think it comes from the north of England and means that something is basically OK.
: "I'll give you £10 for your old shirt". "OK, fair dos".

: Try [Dead link removed - ed]
: for another example.

So that's a fair do and those are fair dos, or does it have to do with MS-DOS? ^_^
