Never thought about it, I use now then all the time.

I say it a fair amount but not as much as "ey up"

I’ll bet “Now then, now then,now then” isn’t as popular as it once was...

That's one thing I've never said.

It spreads up to Teesside, not sure if it stops with us or continues up to the Macams and the Geordies

We also have ‘alright’ as a replacement for ‘hello my good man, how are you today’ in one easy word

" The perants did it, sorted done lest not waste money following fake leads. They gave her something to help her sleep, she OD'ed and a doctor can dispose of a body easy to save his licence. They will never find her because the family are in on it. Their body language is so iffy at the best of times. It will end up like the motorway killinh. When they end up finding out its a inside job and if they wasn't rich and shouting liable at ever person who highlight it could be then the escape scrutiny. I once put this on another public group got Emails threating me all sorts of legal action. Oh the above is only an opinion with no facture base. Just encase, can be arsed with blocking anyone today or replying to legal BS. but seriously they are only milking it for the money now they know what happened or I believe they do."

Edit: there's an unsurprising overlap between the principle consultants and those that want design principals in their documents.

It’s a Scouse thing, too. I quite like it. Yous lot. Works for me as a plural for you.

Wouldn’t that make it rhyme with Scouse?

Dunno, it's how my Dad writes it and he's born and bred St Helens.
