    Living in the deep dark South as I do , some words I use in the pub raise eyebrows.

    First time I used ''canny'' nobody had a clue what I meant.

    Clarts , cree and pease pudding has them running for the dictionaries as well.

    But my favourite was a fellow N/Easterner calling a horse a ''Gallower'' (sp) that really stumped them.
    I think it's to do with pit ponies being from Galloway , unless somebody knaes better.
