Someone posted a list of old Barnsley speak on fb today.
It was remarkable how similar it was to a lot of old Burnley speak.
They used 'feighting' for example but I haven't heard many other Yorkshire folk use it.

A mate of mine at work got bollocked because another colleague complained he’d been disrespectful when he said it to a lad in the office....
But the person who complained is like Norris off Corrie, a right interfering *******!

The words "fish butty" don't mean anything in the rest of the country.
And even if you do get past the dialect and successfully ask for a piece of battered fish between 2 slices of bread, they'll look at you like you've just asked if you can **** their teenage daughters.

My Grandmother used to say... It's like t' shed shuttin down.
This was used when all the grandchildren had left her house after a visit and it being quiet.
The shed being a weaving shed/mill.

Could be this or maybe not..lol
The phrase to have more <something> than Soft Mick means to possess an extravagant quantity of that thing. This phrase may originally have referred to an Irish shoe peddler working around Accrington, East Lancashire, in the early 1900s, from the phrase "More shoes than Soft Mick

I'm sure I saw something on here a good while back regarding the ubiquitous "Soft Mick". It said he was actually a travelling "tinker" who sold absolutely anything an everything from his caravan around East Lancashire and that's where the phrase originated.
