“Needs washed” and similar... regional?

[Magpiefeather]

I only know one person IRL who uses this turn of phrase, for example

Needs washed
Needs cut
Needs tidied

They are from the New Forest...

Have seen this a lot on MN and I just wondered is it a regional thing?

Before I knew this New Forest Friend and read Mumsnet I had never heard this before. I would say

Needs TO BE washed
Or needs washing

Anyone shed any light?

NE Scotland her. My grandma did her messages when she did a supermarket shop.

No car, 10 old fashioned, large poly bags on the bus home. I’d struggle to fit what she carried home on the bus into the boot of my saloon car. She was as strong as an ox.

Ok my DH is wrong then it’s definitely paddling! He doesn’t call it anything else FWIW he’d just say “put our feet in the water” or something.

Definitely paddling. Did he just not go to the beach much as a child?

I've heard paddling pools (bigger, municipal kind) called wading pools, in North America.

The seaside one I love from older books (early to mid C20th I think) is 'going for a bathe' meaning swimming. Some older relatives still refer to 'bathers' for swimming costumes. Sounds so Famous Five to me!

Red up is used a lot in the Borders, although I had lived there over 20 years before I first heard it. And depending on where you live, 'the back of 5' can either mean before 5, or after it. Outwith is very Scottish indeed.

I love outwith. I am pleased to have learnt 'outside in' from this thread.

Yay a Welshism at last!
Does anyone outside of Wales say 'Dur mun'? Its an expression of frustration, like ffs. Eg, you've cleaned the house all day and sorted the bairns bedroom, then he comes in and drops his clothes everywhere. Muggins here has to go tidy it up so you get off your arse with a 'Dur mun'.

Use a bit of Scottishisms here, especially 'how' for 'why' and I'm fond of clarty/clatty bastard

I think it’s smashing

Side-e-ways instead of sideways is something I've picked up from my Scottish DP.
I also love outwith.

Plodge rather than paddle here (NE)

I had no idea outwith was Scottish either! I just thought it was a word something everyone used haha.

@PiePieCustardPie I love that, great word, so you’d say “let’s go for a plodge”?

I grew up in South Yorkshire, and getting told off/into trouble was referred to as getting 'done'. For example, 'Bob got done at school today for talking', 'Stop it! We'll get done if Mum sees!', 'I got right done by Mr X for talking in assembly', 'Do you remember when we got done for climbing on the roof?' and so on. Haven't heard this expression anywhere else - is it still commonly used? I grew up in Sheffield so no idea if it was a very local expression, but most of the kids in my school used it.

I grew up with "got done" - mostly in the sense of, "he got done for stealing," or something else criminal, but by extension to other misdemeanours like talking in class.

And I grew up in Dorset, a fair way from Yorkshire.

'got done' is used a lot in N Ireland too. 'Bob got done for speeding', that sort of thing.

Also if someone is arrested it's often 'they got lifted for '

Im from Liverpool and my ds is always saying I'm "posh" which cracks me up because I just speak normal to me but do say "my" instead of "me" when referring to things.

Example- " I'm going to visit me nan in hospital " is totally normal. Everyone says it. Sounds weird now I've written it.

Also everyone says " going to town " for visiting the city centre either for shopping or on a night out.

Our dialect is crazy sometimes and even I have to ask ds (15) to interpret.

One I find quite amusing is " bin lid " for kid.

I am absolutely fascinated by language.

I'm from the heart of Black Country , moved just toward Birmingham and quite often get the mick took out of me for saying things like "loose the dogs in " instead of let them In .

I love accents and backwards words , of course I know that dressing gown doesn't have a D on the end and I wouldn't spell it so it does but it's there when I say it .. can't help it

I love these threads.

"I'm after minding the messages need got the day" is a sentence which makes sense grammatically and otherwise in NI but I imagine would be a bit confusing to, say, someone from southern England

Oh and the other one that most people say is " our " when referring to family.

" our Billy is starting school " means that he is a family member of some sort, no matter how distant

I never got "told off" as a child. My mammy here in Ireland would "give out" to me. I'm fairly sure "giving out" as a synonym for scolding is distinctly Irish.

Normal in Scotland

I now realise why I got a strange look off the lady on the beach in Norfolk when I was talking about my 2yo paddling in the sea

I'm Scottish and if my DC spill their food I always say that they've "slittered" - DH thinks I'm nuts.

Also - if you go check something out does anyone else go for a "reckie"?

I use "outwith" every day at work and get very cross at Word for telling me off. I don't know what else to say!! Eg "it's outwith the area of consideration". Would you say "it's not within the area of consideration" - because that's just weird!!
