[QUOTE="wrenbird, post: 7655787, member: 20404"] In Herefordshire, trailers had thripples or dripples on, the bales on them would be put up in the tollet above the cowshed with the lister elevator (once you could get the thing to start and keep running). I was usually the one sweltering and swearing, squashed up under the burning hot tin roof trying to shove the last few bales in. Spreading the hay out to dry was tedding, then you row up into ‘wallies’, not sure on spelling, to bale. Holes in hedges are glats , when you go to mend them, you go glatting . You would take your bait to work with you, so you could stop at bait time and eat it. A wonderful old Herefordshire word that I haven’t heard for many years is dishabills, again spelling ? It was a word for a housewife’s everyday working clothes as opposed to her Sunday best,( who the heck has Sunday best clothes any more?). Tundish is a large funnel. Pike is a pitchfork. Nisgal is a runt, smallest and weakest of a litter. Nesh is something, or someone, too tender and delicate to stand bad weather. Tush is to haul or drag something, usually done with a tushing chain. Pleck or plock is usually a small field close to the house. To give something, or someone, a polt is to give them a good hard thump. [/QUOTE]
