Yeah use that one a lot.

Another is "it was all over the place, it was spread around like wild man's shite"

Togger.

Togger.

My Dad, rest his soul, used to say ‘I’ll tell you what you never see any more....horse shit in the Mersey Tunnel’.
Are they still allowed, do you think?

[Huytonian]

That's just reminded me of the time when my daughters Mum went into labour. I text everyone then my cousin texts back saying at the birth make sure you stand in the Kop and not the Anny Road.

I did venture down the Kemlyn at one point but quickly returned to me spec on the Kop.

I stayed in the Kemlyn for the first son and the paddock for the second.

A mate who'd missus had her first a couple years before we had ours, messaged me "Don't go goal-end, will put you off for life."

[So… Howard Philips]

Not sure of the spelling but my Dad used to call anyone displaying excessive clumsiness a 'Flundermuck'.

Djimi Traore had 'flundermuck' tendencies.

[Medellin]

Trog?

[Dr. Beaker]

Trog?

Ah yes I remember being on one of those walks in Colomendy when we came across this young, long-haired wool, sitting on a fallen tree accompanied by a little Spaniel. one of the kids says, "Look Sir, a trog with a dog sitting on a log"!

[So… Howard Philips]

Trog?

With us it was synonymous with 'greaser' who dwelt under the Bridge in Garston.

[Medellin]

Bagsy.

[So… Howard Philips]

'Odds'  for loose change.

[Tesco tearaway]

Has anybody mentioned 'flim'?
As in "I'm on the bones of me arse; anyone got a flim to lend me?"

Yep. Or a bluey or a skindiver

A grebo

[So… Howard Philips]

A grebo

Hmmm. The 'greasers' were old school rockers completed with a DA hairstyle and leather jackets even without a motorbike. We thought 'grebos' were a very early incarnation of heavy metal fans.

Aren't those under the bridge at Garston just 'mudmen' no matter their attire?

There was a definite split in Garston. Close to the bridge was were the leather clad trolls and Teddy Boys dwelt. Further out towards the airport (talking late 60s) was more of a mod enclave.

heavy metal fans.

In school we used to call them smellies.

bluey

A bluey was a great name or a fiver

[Tesco tearaway]

Leather jacket, tassles down the arms, bar mats sewn across the back, long hair all down my back ( none on my head, just all down my back )
