I was sat in the garden with the wife, I asked her if she wanted me to get the washing in, she said
" you siden table and I'll get washing in"
I knew exactly what she meant, but thought would everybody.
So who else knows what it means without using Google. (other search engines are available)

Never heard that one. I like the way it kind of incorporates the 'the'. Be interesting to know if it's purely Yorkshire, or more widespread. In a sort of similar or at least related vein, watched a film called Dogville last night, much of it with a voiceover by John Hurt. A couple of times he used the word 'gotten' (it was set in America) - it sounded strange to hear such an American word in his so thoroughly English accent. (Tho' I believe it was once very much an English word, back in the day...taken to the new world and lived on there, while falling out of favour over here.)

From "A Glossary of Words used in the Neighbourhood of Sheffield", by Sidney Oldall Addy - published for the English Dialect Society in 1888:

SIDE, v. to put away, to make tidy.
'Side away the dinner pots.'
But I don't recall ever hearing it used around here.
