Some different names coming up here !!!!

 

Around us we've always we have a few !!

 

Hares = Teddy Bears or as my Irish mate calls them White Arses !!!!

Foxes = Charlie Boy

Badger = Billy or Pig !!!!

Seagull = Shite Hawk !!!!

 

Was talking to a cornish bloke yesterday when i visited Wales and he worked as a farm labourer when he was a young un and always poahed a few of the landowners Pheasants. Back in the boozer these would be know as 'Long Tailed Rabbits' !!!

 

What about sayings !!!!!! This one isn't local to me another Irish one. If it's pissing it down, freezing or just bad weather when out with the dogs with my irish mate he'll say, ''WOULDN'T THROUGH A FOX OUT OF A CHICKEN HOUSE ON A MORNING LIKE THIS'' !!!!! Only the Irish come up with these !!!!

 

 

All the best Tommy ;);)
