One for t Yorkshire Folk

[deptfordmarmoset]

Having read the wonderful work of Iona and Peter Opie I thought Fainites was a southern word, with Yorkshire being a Kings or Barley area. However, it seems that things aren't as simple as they were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truce_term gives more information.

Well, I encountered fainites in Leeds playgrounds and pax in a very definitely non-public school in Greenwich back in 1960/61 so the words had already travelled by the late 50s. Hard to remember it now but Greenwich was still a pretty run down area.
