| Smoking seriously | 22 Apr 2005 21:45 GMT | 4 |
Sitting in the pub last night, I was shocked to read the following

| Newbie posting - "oont" | 19 Apr 2005 14:06 GMT | 5 |
I grew up in North Staffs, where there are many wondeful dialect

small burrowing furry animal. I understand that this word is also
known in Gloucestershire.
