Another old topic that caught my eye.
Two that spring to mind for me are...
When asking my dad where he was going, his reply was always "Nutting down the Rudge". Dad was born in Coventry and never lived anywhere else, so I presume the "Rudge" is somewhere local?
The phrase I always remember my mum saying was when the sky was full of dark rain clouds, she would say "It's black over Bill's mother's". Always wondered whom Bill was.
I am sure there shall be more that I shall remember now that my mind is in gear!
The Rudge was the cycle works I believe in Spon Street later the GEC.
