Need A Wee

[cecil39]

why do folks say they "need a wee fit to break their neck" I have always puzzled over this, is it just a local (Norfolk) saying?

[tonyav]

Never heard of that one ( West Midlands ).

[Frank97]

Never heard it said in Somerset either.

[excelsior-1]

a new one on me

[Psybbo]

Never heard that

[pugthedog]

not heard this one in westhoughton

[MichaelZZ]

... nor in the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire.

[The Builder]

I've heard "breaking my neck for a pee" many times Cecil. Not quite the same though.

[cecil39]

must be a local saying then, although the builders one is similar, just wondered.

[boxtops]

It's on the Urban Dictionary, but I've never heard anyone say this.

[Maydup]

I've not heard of it in Norfolk before. But I have heard of "I'm Penny Bustin" after the girl who used to read the BBC local news.

[Old_git]

Comes from the time of public execution when hanging victims lost control of bodily functions.
