I'm not falling for that one again you have to put 'Simon Says' on the front.
A Northumberland fishing boat filled with Sherry is an awful lot of sherry.
peterfile - have heard that one with "bulldog" for full effect 🙂
OK...
If I were in Gloucester and were to offer you a 'henry', would you accept it?
And what would it be?

Henry = an eighth of weed round these parts. Apparently.
3.54gms. Yes
"I'm going to the outdoor for some butter and a schooner of sherry."
I'm flipping mental?
Are we talking Lamb Henrys?
Well where I come from, an outdoor is a licensed shop that sells tobacco products, beers, wines, sweets, crisps, cooked meats and cheeses.
I'm from Salford. I work in Bolton and nobody was aware of this term 6 miles away.
And a schooner?
Burnley - I'm agate, she's agate
Clitheroe - Kittle, Gert'un, Tronish
Blackburn- Buzz'zez
Calgary - F'shoozies, Timmies
Just some I've come across in my travels
schooner is just a type/shape of glass.
DrP.
Yes I would.
Orange juice and lemonade.
^^^^
Winner!
Though, not really, as calling an orange juice and lemonade a Henry is ruddy daft..!

A friend here in Ayrshire had an american cousin come to stay with them. While preparing lunch they were asked if they could go to the shop and pick up some rolls. The cousin agreed that they would but was too embarrassed to clarify what they meant by 'rolls' so when they got to the shop they were a bit nervous as to whether they were asking for the right thing in the right place
american 'Can I have six rolls please'
Kilmarnock shop keeper 'Would you like a wee poke?'
poor guy didn't know if he was being propositioned or threaten with violence.
Mardy?
Nesh?

Also known as an 'Offy' and 'Beer-off' where I come from.

nesh - soft - "stop being nesh"

A half. Very odd an 'outdoor' can sell sherry by halves. 😀
Schooner is a glass slightly bigger than a pint glass.
2. A large beer glass, generally holding a pint or more.
orange juice & lemonade - Batman Special (but only if fresh orange, of course).
Nesh is more particularly feeling cold round here...
How about spice or tuffies?
A schooner glass is around 1/2 pint up here.
Spice - sweets
Tin tin tin.

Grockels, as in 'overners' ?
Funny lot
Office is full of Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster folk with a smattering of Barnsley and one "Wakey bird".
Of course, being from the South, all the above simply looks like somebody vomited alphabetti-spaghetti onto my screen...

I understand it someone who feels the cold, but the sense of being a bit delicate or soft about it.
I'd like some fadge please and maybe some dulse. Oh and a vodka and white.
Any ideas?

Of course, if you were really from the South, you'd know a grockel when you saw one. Grockel 😉
