I got them all right. Many of those phrases are common in the Black Country, too.

[ummmm]

14 but to be fair some of those phrases are used down south.

[wolf63]

You got 14 out of 22 right!

You’ve done oreyt!

This was my score. Some contained words that we use north of the border. I went to Blackpool once - is that the same county? They didn't speak 'funny' there, it was 1980 though - long, long time ago. My first holiday away from my parents.

[B00]

Yeah, Blackpool is in Lancs.

[jennyjoan]

17 reet and Im from NI - our sayings are unbelievable.

[Mamyalynne]

One wrong, a new one to me - not bad then.

[EcclesCake]

20/22 not bad for a Southern Jessie :-)

[ubasses]

[Lie-in King]
