Ah, I see hesterton - I imagine Kettering has its own set of local te noihydc traditions, as indeed many areas do. Where I live, it's usual to include a cabbage or a couple of fishing rods.

Grumpyoldblonde · 20/01/2018 21:13

Root vegetables are popular here in Berkshire and obviously saddles but I think that's universal.

ScreamingValenta · 20/01/2018 21:16

saddles but I think that's universal

Yes, except of course in Didsbury.

Do you believe in love like I do?

Thermostatpolice · 20/01/2018 21:34

Actually, saddles are still frowned upon in Northumbria, ScreamingValenta and Grumpy. That business in 1983. People have long memories.

dontbesillyhenry · 20/01/2018 21:35

Oh OP please come back
We won't roast you too much. Honest

PurpleDaisies · 20/01/2018 21:36

I have googled but can't find ant explanation to what this te nohydic thing is

NEVER google te nohydic

Oysterbabe · 20/01/2018 21:40

I've been disproportionately amused by this thread.

GrooovyLass · 20/01/2018 21:52

Oh dear. I've been on a night out tonight with work colleagues past and present and I'm afraid that there was much te noihydc. I'm afraid to show my face on Monday morning.

Grumpyoldblonde · 20/01/2018 21:55

Northumbria 1983, gosh yes that sorted the men from the boys. Big cover up in recall, very hush hush.

52FestiveRoad · 20/01/2018 21:57

GroovyLass did you get drunk? You should never te noihydc if you have consumed alcohol. It is totally against all advice. Drunken te noihydc is just straight forward debauchery. You need a clear head to keep it as a spiritual experience.

FucksBizz · 20/01/2018 22:13

Te noihydc isn't for everyone, OP. I'm surprised they asked you. I actually think they're gaslighting you. Ask them if they meant to be so rude.

Oh, and if you do end up going, bring a bucket.

ScreamingValenta · 20/01/2018 22:34

Thermostatpolice Oh, goodness, yes. The microwave incident Blush. The scandal is still reverberating.

GrooovyLass · 20/01/2018 23:05

52 I do believe there's still a local pillory in my local village. I shall report in the morning.

LarkDescending · 20/01/2018 23:25

Of course OP will be aware that, in te noihydc circles, an invitation is a summons. And we all know the consequences of breaching that particular protocol

ScreamingValenta · 20/01/2018 23:38

hesterton - I never knew there was a vegetarian te noihydc circle in Colchester! How fascinating! I'd only heard of the pescetarian group in Kidderminster (and who hasn't?) - really envying your wide-ranging experience here.

TheClaws · 20/01/2018 23:40

Is having a bit of pampas grass out the front an invitation te noihydc? If so, is that why I keep hearing strange knocking at my door at all hours? Confused

dontbesillyhenry · 20/01/2018 23:41

Rumour has it if you say te noihdyc three times at midnight the unspeakable occurs

ScreamingValenta · 20/01/2018 23:48

TheClaws Normally, you'd expect to see the pampas grass in a blue vase in your upper left window - bit of a faux pas to assume pampas grass elsewhere is an invitation per se - suspect your knocking people are just chancing it TBH.

TheClaws · 21/01/2018 03:39

Eh, perhaps the te noihdyc crowd look for different plants. Ivy up my lamp post? Dead patches of grass? Or perhaps something more unusual.

Labradoodliedoodoo · 21/01/2018 07:00

What on earth is it? I’ve no idea
