but pikelets are scotch pancakes, not crumpets

Blu · 30/03/2006 15:23

What's a dimp?

Northerner · 30/03/2006 15:23

Ring Jeremy Kyle FF, he'll know what to do.

Or as Olive has suggessted - real life stories in Pick me up, Chat or Take a Break. Not that I read them of course. No. I'm off to a French Chateau this weekend to eat Foie Gras Mille Fuille. Very middle class.

Blu · 30/03/2006 15:24

Scotch pancakes are Drop Scones.
Pikelets have holes in them.

A dimp is a cigarette that has been smoked and thrown on the floor, the filter bit. Common people pick them up to get the last dregs and to make their fingers yellow.

I AM SUPPOSED TO BE A BLOODY ACCOUNTANT, GET ME OFF THIS FRIGGING SITE PLEASE.

zippitippitoes · 30/03/2006 15:25

I deduced that dimps were the left over bits from cigarettes

Northerner · 30/03/2006 15:27

My Mum calls Crumpets Pikeletts. If she stays at my house and I offer her a crumpet she tells me off for being all posh.

'Back kitchen' is another WC phrase, I always say 'it's in teh back kitchen' asif I have a front one Grin

fairyfly · 30/03/2006 15:28

I insist they are squashed crumpets, they are lovely and they are in the isles of M and S, i'm allowed to look through the window of my local one if i put all the trollies back.

Pikelets does sound sweet.

A dimp is a fag butt, if you collect them in a tin you can make a rolly out of the dog ends. Then you empty your kids money box and go to the workys for half a mild.

They were always pikelts in our house. 'Crumpets' sounded very Enid Blyton.
The ones from the baker were much bigger than the ones in packets in Tesco.

I would ring Geremy Kyle but he's busy enough trying to work out who is the father of my child.

Northerner · 30/03/2006 15:29

And if your lucky, there might be a turn on in the worky's.

fairyfly · 30/03/2006 15:30

Geremy ?

That says it all really.

Slightly off track, but when watching Trisha once (I was b/feeding and couldn't reach the remote okay????), they did DNA tests on 2 men to see who was the father and it turned out to be neither of them!

The woman said "but it must be one of them, deffo" and Trisha had to kindly explain DNA to her and that it wasn't. Priceless.

meowmix · 30/03/2006 15:40

I met a producer for Trisha once and she told me that when the "guests" turn up they've often had their hair done/bought summat posh and the production team then gives them a "makeunder" to make them look more schemy/chav/common.

i kind of think that'd be a fun job.

Bozza · 30/03/2006 15:45

Well that's the thing that I have learnt today - absolutely never realised that the term "crumpet", as in baked goods, was posh. Shock

Northerner · 30/03/2006 15:47

What do they do then? Knock a few teeth out and give them a hicky?

meowmix · 30/03/2006 15:49

stick em in clothes 2 sizes too small and add some fake bling I guess!

PeachyClair · 30/03/2006 16:05

Meowmix, have you been watching what I dress my kids in Grin

As my friend used to say, 'I love Peasants.... each year at Christmas we string one up from the ceiling for sport'

(I can say that coz I is common- you lot can't coz you're all posh gits) Wink

Angeliz · 30/03/2006 16:11

AS ong as we're taking the piss out of 'Private School posh idiots ' the that's alright sin't it?
All in the spirit of fun and camaradarie and that reverse snobbery thing that goes on everywhere.

Threads like this make me sick and you can all slate me if you will (and i'm sure you will, one will mock others will follow) am not really bothered!

Angeliz · 30/03/2006 16:13

and yes i can't type for toffee!

MissChief · 30/03/2006 16:21

isn't it taking the piss out of all and sundry whatever their snobbery? we're all guilty of this, tribal instincts and all that!

fairyfly · 30/03/2006 16:22

I think it ha just been a piss take out of anyone in general tbh. Myself included.

VVVVwhatever · 30/03/2006 16:22

Actually, if we are going to blast stereotypes, i currently object to people on the 'dole' as 'scroungers' who 'sit on their ass all day'.

But, am pmsl at this thread! Grin
