I love the Valleys use of 'Wenglish':
Nowjest = a moment ago
Ach-a-fi = horrible/disgusting
'Picking' with rain
Over BY there
Gully = back lane where the coal used to be delivered
My Nan used to have loads of phrases that were common to the dialect of the Rhondda/Cynon Valley.

The Tonker wrote:England have 12 grand slams to Wales' 11. Since the six nations started in 2000, England have 1 grand slam, Wales have 3.
Both sides have 26 outright tournament wins in the Home/5/6 Nations, England also have 10 shared wins, Wales have 12.
England have achieved 25 wooden spoons, Wales have only 21.
All this has been achieved with an England population of 53 million, compared to Wales' 3 million and a resources imbalance to match.
Good stats Tonks, have some flair

All part of my routine vocabulary... Apart from picking with rain... Spitting with rain
I thought gully was a common term in Wales... I'd tonk (apologies Tonks) my gambo (which was a blemmer) up the gully by Doris' lean to...
If my Nan wanted a small amount of something she'd ask for a 'threat' of it... Fancy some Brussel sprouts with your chicken Ivy? Ooooh just a threat

Another one of my Nan's expressions was to slice bread "thin enough to see London through".
Absolutely no idea what this meant, maybe a reference to the Great Smog?
