The customer frequents this forum, so my involvement was limited to passing it onto some who should have been able to help

Rubbish compared to you lot and your international businessmeninging but I’m currently in a ‘hotel’ on the Mull of Kintyre for work. The plus side is I’m already two pints into the Fyne Ales courtesy of expenses and they are hound-friendly so I have some company. Hound being of the dog variety, not Campbelltown locals. The place is a bit tired but the food is decent, the beer is better and the view of the beach is amazing. Might bring the surf board once the sun stays up past 5...
Going to get pissed and ask for a non-itemised bill.0 -

Yes! Thanks for stopping0 -
Not sure working from home yesterday counted as international jet setting, but the 'bring a hound to work' thing sounds like a good laughHaydenM wrote:Rubbish compared to you lot and your international businessmeninging but I’m currently in a ‘hotel’ on the Mull of Kintyre for work.

You'll need to get him a bicycle. Perhaps a hybrid.

Funny that. 'Croggy' was a term I first heard from my good mate Andy from Hull. Ex HKR player - one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. It's definitely an East Coast term, just like "There's more bikes here than Soft Mick's bike warehouse... and that's a lot of bikes". I say that a lot in reference to many things but very few of these West coast morons understand me.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0

It was definitely a North Eastern thing. Not sure it made the trip over the Pennines though, like you say."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

The only problem with the last 6 months or so is that I have been spending a lot more time in the office so I actually have to make a bit of an effort to walk him after work, after a day of site visits and zooming he's usually out cold as soon as we get in the door.
Also, that is a backy, I'll ask the near-hull-but-not-hull originating OH what she would call it0 -
It's the original and correct Northern term, not the shandy drinking Southern version.hopkinb wrote:

The near-hull-but-not-hull originating OH calls it a 'croggy'. She also once used the word 'tret' instead of 'treated' in front of me, apparently it's a 'Hull thing'...0

That's a backie. A croggy is sitting on the cross bar or handlebars.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I can see the sense in it also, it sounds even worse in a thick Hull accent though like some of the OH's friends.0 -
