My grandfather migrated to Australia as a very small child with his family in the early 1900s. He came from Stockport near Manchester. The men in his family were felthatters for many generations and the unmarried women worked in the mills. My grandfather was badly injured in WW2 and died when I was 9.
Some of my few memories of him are words. He called me "snooks" and the term "spiflicate" meaning to chastise someone have come down the family. Are these local or regional words? I would love to hear from GNers from those areas.
