Re reading Boneland

And keeping note of the Cheshireisms which I still use today.
At about half way through I have the following.

Palaver.
Daft.
Scarpered.
Flumoxed.
Gubbins.
Mardy.
Let's be having you.
As long as me arm.
Well, I'm buggered if I do.
You've got a right cob on.
and
Can't be arsed.

Anyone else recognise or use any of these?


Amused by Colin on page 42 when a nurse asks if he is worried by enclosed spaces.
" 'As far as I am aware,' said Colin, 'I am no claustrophobic. At least I believe I'm not. I feel enclosed sometimes, in dreams. On my shins. But that's all.' "
We all remember why he might feel closed in like that, particularly on his shins.

And his reaction to Rhododendrons is also amusing me.
