Lillian Margaret Diggle, born 18 August 1914 - died 5 March 1994, was a real Gloucestershire girl with the robust, positively vulgar, sense of humour and sayings, deriving as they did from her early life, that take us back to the 19th century. Here are two of my favourites ...
On reaching the end of a heavy meal ...
The Lord be praised
Moi belly be raised
One inch above the table.
But oi'll be damned
If I oi ain't crammed
As much as oi be able.
On being amused by something you've said ...
Thee's make oi laugh
Thee's make oi cry
Thee's make oi pee myself
