Ron.

I will have to be more careful using local expressions. It would appear that certain phrases do not carry well over the internet. In this area, to 'loose ones marbles', is to be mentally disorientated.

I had better not use other expressions such as, 'Going for my bait'. You might think it has something to do with fishing. Instead of which it means that I am 'going out for a spot of lunch'

I got caught out a few years ago, on an occasion when I had to give evidence at Newcastle Crown Court. In my evidence I had to use the phrase, 'Why aye man'. The twelve members of the jury, geordies all, knew exactly what I meant, but 'Hiz Honor' the judge, stopped the trial until it was explained to him exactly meaning of those words. I still don't know if he was having a joke at my expense.

I will try and be more careful in future.

Regards Roy J.
