Am really enjoying this. Kate and Sidney, now that rings a bell, still do not like the Sidney bit. Making a list for my family as they will probably have not heard of half the expressions that we can remember, or the food. Never heard of tin lally butties, but have heard of condensed milk butties. Pants - keks, yes but I thought strikes came from Australia. What is shaky milk, milk shake? We used to say bobees for going to sleep Narnie Sarnie - I give up on this one. Champ and Colcannon - give up on this one too. Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels are still going. Little Hovis loaves - the tins came in a strip of maybe 4 or 6 and when the break was baked the name was on the side of the little loaves. lither - leather wortch, bepowlert an' pown ???? pobbies - warm milk and pieces of bread and a bit of sugar. e'en, neb - neb cap, or peaked cap Preston pies - potato pies without meat. Raw onion peeled and then sliced into thin slices and split up and then put into dish of malt vinegar with a dash of sugar. With so many words to use it does make you wonder why people are so stuck on the one swear word today. Olive

I remember my grandfather having "POBS" for breakfast- He had a baker's shop, and every evening he would butter some leftover crusts, add sugar and soak them in milk overnight. Next morning he heated them and had them for breakfast. It took me years before I sorted out what POBS meant--of course-"pieces of bread soaked " They are good too! Margaret

Narnie Sarnie - Banana Sandwich? Pobbies - something dad always liked - yuk My husband`s mum always pours boiling water onto the onions to soften slightly and then drains and adds vinegar and sugar. As for the layers of Potato, Onion and Bacon, my mum used to cook this in the oven with milk. It separated slightly but oh it was good comfort food. Maureen

Hi Olive Trousers/pants are called 'striDes' in Oz, but even that term seems to be little used now. Male and female trousers are called pants, seemingly. Remember when women's trousers were called 'slacks'?
