Many are inherited from past generations and if you live in Lancashire you'll probably already know the meanings behind these well used local words and phrases.
They must sound like a different language to people from other parts of the country. And the variation is surprising too across the county. In Blackpool a ‘ginnel’ for example, is called an alley. But we are firm on the old barmcake - it’s not a teacake, muffin or bread roll!
Enjoy these great sayings - can you think of any more?
