Hello listers I've been thinking about stuff my Nan, a feisty Brades Village woman, used to say. If someone was putting on airs and graces she would say 'Ers gone all orrismontle' Now was Horace Montle (Mantle) a person? Was this her version of another word? Or did she just make it up! While we're on the subject I know someone who regularly says 'yo'm a bigga liar thun Tum Pepper' So who he? Any ideas? All the best Patsy

LOL or was it Horizontal?
