Depends what tiddlywinks is lol. Yeah they were like big buttons kids would 'gamble' with. I guess like marbles or something (only I never played marbles so not sure). I wonder if I still got my pogs somewhere... Attic boxes of junk FTW.

I think penny up the wall was fairly universal in the UK. And we called rapps, Snips. Quite a strange concept just smashing someones knuckles with a pack of cards. Oh to be a kid again.

I hope little H is a bit happier, poor ting.

If "Hen" can be a term of affection in Scotland, I reckon "cow" can also be. Another one I can think of from around the counties is Duck(y).

I am reading "A 100 Years of Annoying the French" just now. Quite interesting to read about the Normans, Anglo Saxons, the language, and dialect through the UK.
