'Ere! 'Ere!

And you're not doing so bad yourself....

Now, the verb 'to mither'. Haven't heard that used since I lived just off Lumb Lane, in Bradford-on-Sea, some 38 years ago. I was an early economic migrant, living off curried porridge an' chips..... Harry Ramsden's was then just a trucker's caff in a giant muddy layby. Even the coaches coming back from the Leeds City Varieties on a Sunday night were bigger than the little chippy. 'Twas there I learned the aphrodisiacal wonder of mushy peas, vinegar, and Taddy Ale.

'Mithering' - so Tolkienesque, or Hogwartian.....

I do like to dip into my Yorkshire (East) heritage now and then.

In his recent trial (in which he was acquitted), Steven Gerrard said that he was well used to dealing with 'mither' from members of the public.


To my southern ear, it sounded delightfully quaint.

Oik !
It is a very useful and expressive word, 'Go away and stop mithering me' as my father would say to me when I was in 'Father what does this do?' mode
And when I was bored and used to 'mither' my grandmother she would tell me to 'Go and pee and play with the smoke!' But it stopped me 'mithering' her
