What does it mean ? "I'll wipe that smile off your face "..... Wipe it off with what ?. What other strange sayings do we use that don't add up ?

it may be from the tv prog Nearest and Dearest



The series ran from 1968 to 1973 and was set around a pickle factory in Colne, Lancashire, which is run by Nellie Pledge (Hylda) and her brother Eli (Jimmy )

- I'll be there now after (i never did work out - after what)



- I'll be there now in a minute ( Welsh time - normally meant a week or two later)



- Bread Cake - (actually a bread roll/bap/cob/tea cake depending where your from)

Regional accents are your roots and you should never give them up. Too many of my long time friends have aquired a " telephone voice ". I was born and bred in London and although i've lived in Wiltshire for thirty years i definitely don't talk any wurzzle lol
