SAYINGS

(I'd check your 3rd letter A)

John T. Thank you so very much you are correct - the answer is 'sayings'. The third letter A should have been a Y as you suggested. The question I went wrong on was Early 19th slang for 'tobacco' (5) and I had put 'bacca' instead of 'baccy'.

I had spent hours trying to work it out so thanks for your help. Bill

THECORBYLOON

It wasn't a word in the Yorkshire dialect meaning, "utterances" then?

I'm still not clear what the actual clue was.

THECORBYLOON

I wouldn't mind but I found a couple of Yorkshire dialect dictionaries online and went through the S-words looking for a word that fitted but I clearly wasted my time...

...I'm fine...I'll get over it...

...eventually...

newmodarmy

I did the same, thecorbyloon, but found nothing - and I was puzzled anyway by the clue - why the 2 dialect clues were given

Hazlinny

I thought "sayings" from the start (the two examples being Yorkshire sayings) but put off completely by the wrong placing of letters - rather a waste of quite some time.

I thought SAYINGS but then realised it would be SAYINS ie, no G if any Yorkshireman I know said it.

Sorry I confused you all, myself as well. The question was.

13a. Utterances. Using dialect clues 'Thas a reight (7. across)' and 'Am feeling (1 Down) today' ... Typical Yorkshire (7)

The answers to 7a was 'divvy' and the answer to 1 Down was 'middlin'.

Hope you can understand now how hard it was to understand and I do appreciate your time and effort in helping me a beginner in this difficult crossword in The Dalesman magazine. Bill
