When I was a child and my bedroom was very messy my mother always referred to it as "looking like Howdon Fair". We lived in Hull and it wasn't until I was an adult that I realised this was a real place and an event. I now live in Newcastle where the local equivalent is "Paddy's market" a place where second hand clothes were sold and once again meaning somewhere which is a mess. Do people still use these expressions? or are they forgotten now. And are there any other local examples?
