Ok this should be fun, as you all know @Admin and I are from South Wales and us welsh have a mad reputation for our phrases, so what do you say that is renowned for the area you come from and what do they mean?

Here are a few from us...

You know Yorkshire has a motto

See all, 'ear all, say nowt,
Tak' all, keep all, gie nowt,
An' if tha ivver does owt fer nowt,
Allus do it fer thisen

Or in standard English

See everything, Hear everything, Say nothing,
Take everything, Keep everthing, Give nothing,
And if you ever do something for nothing,
Always do it for a reason.

This doesn't really paint Yorkshire folk in a great light does it?, and transcribing this on a smart phone has left me a little traumatized

I moved around a lot as a kid. Them lot over t' hill are some of the best folk I've ever known. That said... It depends on where in Yorkshire you're talking about. There's a huge difference between north and south, east and west, don't you know! That lot on the east coast call their council Eryc!

Racking my brains to think of sayings now.
