Winterizing the home.

Yorkshire?

Much further south than that. Think cider, (zyder), pasties, and cream teas, moorland, Lorna Doone, and a rough and rugged coast..below Wales.

I was going to try typing that with an accent, but my phone's predictive text had a nervous breakdown!

What is the feminine of “boi”? I know a couple of guys with Boi or Boy in their nicknames but never a girl’s equivalent.

Edited to add:
I’ve been called Boy in Norfolk but I’ve never been asked for a light!

Maid is the female equivalent.
Boi (often pronounced Buy,) and Maid are both unmarried in its origional context.

Zyder? Zummerzet? that's where I were born but left at 3 before the zyder rotted my teeth!!

At the time my Dad (from hampshire) worked with locals who took a liquid lunch at the nearest farm. There were a lot of farms to go at back then, not quite so many of late.

There was a farm near where I grew up where you could take any container and fill it with scrumpy for £5, as long as you could carry it. My mate once sat supping at his wellington boot full of cider as I drove us home.

I think my dad oncee told me about this old guy he worked with who drove to the farm at lunch, got out one of those ancient pottery containers, filled it up, drained it then drove back to work. They are not small containers for a lunch when it is your whole lunch!!
