( a long pause) whiffey ? why i know nothing about him. how could i possibly fancy him ?
joking aside - hey whiffey, where did you get that 'noo' bit from if you were born in hfds and now live in reigate ?
larkin, I was born close to Herefordshire, not exactly accurately in Herefordshire, but in this the age of contracting boundaries why quibble. How about Essex ?
crete, "The Noo" is the most disgraceful misuse of the English language I have ever come across. But I love it, and it is now part of my daily chat. It is common in Scotland, famous for the film Greyfriars Bobby.
crete, many Scottish peeps say The Noo. I have only known one who didn't. I find it endearing, and a small comfort for all the money we expended putting the railway as far as Glasgee.
