I live in SCUNTHORPE, Mr McGherkin, what was your meaning.
only one I know is who put the T in Scunthorpe.
           Regards Howard.
      PM me if its to rude to put in open forum

On the PhpBB forum software that is used by quite a few other forums, the swear filter looks for swearwords even if they are part of a longer word - so you might unexpectedly find your hometown filtered if you typed it in a post!

And TeddyT, fair play to your son, he's a good example!

Yarpie, From Afrikaans japie, or plaasjapie meaning farm-boy. 'Japie' or 'plaasjapie' is a term referring to a person that grew up on a farm and is not familiar with city life, naive, often unsophisticated. Not a derogatory term, but not too polite either.


Well that is what the dictionary says anyway.....

Sums me up to a tee then Nick.

Spending the first 16 years of my life in West Wales before joining HMS Fisgard
I became Taff. Other lads were Jock, Geordie, Scouse,Paddy,even one lad from Guernsey Frenchie.
West country lads were Janners Yorkies were, say no more


None of us complained. It was the norm.


I don't think I should list the names given to Wily Oriental Gentelmen and others of that ilk
including Yanks Canucks Aussies and the rest.


If someone calls me Taff tomorrow I 'll be contacting  Call me names Lawers 4U
