Bairn Necessities

[joggerjayne]

Apparently, in the north east, children are referred to as "bairns".

(don't ask me why ... I have no idea).

So I thought, there just HAS to be an online children's shop called ... yes? ...

... "Bairn Necessities"

But there isn't !!

So, there you are. The name is yours, for anyone who fancies getting into that market.

"bairn" migrated South from Scotland.
It must have a root in Scandinavian languages, since "barn" is a term for child in Swedish and Norwegian.

where the hell has this thread gone ? the question was about Bairns & we are getting posts about arses & bleeding & cobs & baps.
For Funks Sake is it possible to stick to one subject or is this immpossible for some morons to do.Ron.

Around here, the indigenous local (who, frankly, should be allowed to die out quietly) have some odd words.

"anywhen" ... means whenever ("Just drop in anywhen.")

"nabble" ... means to gossip ("That Olive, she enjoys a good nabble.")

"niff" ... something like a small argument ("We had a bit of a niff when she found out.")

"tack" ... is an odd flavour ("This milk has a bit of a tack on it.")

Like I say, hopefully these absurdities will just die out if the rest of us ignore them.
