tamthebam Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I had to explain "get a bend on" (cue Kenneth..) to a young workmate the other day. It meant "get a move on" when I was younger. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was common in ayrshire too, haven't heard it in years tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillyAnchor Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 Barry in my time was more rhyming slang for Barry White as in this quiche is pure Barry if you were a Firhill chap anyway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Moomintroll Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I'm pretty sure my boss lives in Prestatyn. What does this mean?Not a clue, it is well signposted off the A55 but dont take the first exit as it is an awful road. Continue on to the first Rhyl exit then follow signs for Rhyl at the Rhuddlan roundabout. Thereafter you can link up with the A548 Rhyl Coast Road which will convey you to Prestatyn with minimal fuss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
