The following were used regularly in South Lancashire . . .

“Layo’ers for meddlers, an’ crutches for lame ducks” was a term used, if someone expressed curiosity as to what was in a parcel or package.

The term “dog shelf” was used when referring to the floor.

The prevailing weather in Bolton would come from the west, i.e. Lostock.

My mum has never used that expression, but her family lived on the western side of Bolton. In fact she was born in Chew Moor, which is part of Lostock!
