"Giz a Croggy!"

[Chris Leeds]

"Giz us a cog" was the term we used in south yorkshire in the 70's. we moved to sussex in '79 and it changed to a backie

Yeah we said "giz a cog" in doncaster 10 years ago. I assume kids still do. Never heard it outside of south yorkshire though.

When I lived in Melbourne aged 11 giving someone a lift on your bike was known as a dink.

I've been known to say "Do you want a ride on my crossbar"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wouldn't be able to say that without going all Kenneth Williams

(top thread revival, btw)

I'm with Keith on this one, I'd now say "Do you want a ride on my crossbar?" Never heard of the term Croggy; but, as I'm from the south as a child it would have been a "backie" or "seatie" the same as Fnaar.

OT - just for a moment, I thought the 'dodger was back

In NZ, it was a dub - give us a dub. I guess short for double.
