>Do you say 'I'm gonna lower me sen down carefully' (for instance) using the sen thing?
As when your granddad's piles have flared up and he needs an extra cushion to sit on?
I think we do use the 'sen' thing up here too, but it's more like 'sell'. Like "watch thee sell" - a warning to be careful?
And other mysterious phrases:
"Get thee pipe" an exclamation usually uttered by an elderly relative as a plea to slow down and catch one's breath?
"Ars' bloody maftered/lathered" loosely translated: "I am stifled by the heat".
"Ars' nithered" - "I am somewhat chilled".
"That bloody rammed" - "That smelt very unpleasant"
I think I saw on TV, maybe on Time Team or something where a lot of these phrases are Danish - probably from when the Vikings invaded, and the North Eastern dialects could be understood more easily by people in Copenhagen than people in London?!
