Blackbriar 8,569 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Another thing that has many names...... What do we call a local shop that sells alcohol (apart from "the Paki's !). When I was a lad it was "the beer off", but I know it has other names around the country. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gin 498 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 They say there's nowt queerer than folk but I beg to differ when you listen to the names some folk give stuff and it's generally the same thing as what has a totally different name elsewhere. So, in your neck of the woods, what do you call the following? A teacake in my mind. Having become quite fluent in Cumbrian, I now automatically call this a lonning. A snicket or ginnel A growler 2nd photo ,- tree lined is a lonnen.
