I came across this local dialect quiz from Barbara Sole who has published a couple of books on Hyde local history. There are 50 expressions in dialect, maybe not all Hyde but certainly within a few miles.
I will leave it on the blog for a few days, then publish the answers later in the week. Right here goes:-

brilliant, it kept me quiet for a while. I have got answers for all but one (not saying they are all right )I must say it's a lot harder trying to read the dialect than it is listening to it. I still use some of these myself, will look forward to the answwers.
Think Barbara has travelled widely to get this strange mixture of dialect! Still, it's been entertaining and I look forward to the answers.
I've sussed out more than I thought I would... or at least I think I have.. ha! Look forward to seeing the answers.
