Old print-shop wood type, set with the slang of home: Boss and Made up for Liverpool, Gert lush for Bristol, Nah then for Sheffield, Cwtch for Wales. The meaning is printed under every word, so everyone can follow along.
There are letterpress prints for Yorkshire, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Newcastle, Manchester, Lancashire, Birmingham, the Black Country, London (Cockney rhyming slang), Scotland, Glasgow, Wales, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Cornwall, Bristol, Norfolk and Liverpool.
Matching sets of three
Pair a letterpress print with the word map and brew colour chart from the same region in a set of three, all the same size: Yorkshire, Lancashire, Manchester, Scouse (Liverpool), Geordie (Newcastle), Brummie (Birmingham), Cockney (London), Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Northern Irish, Cornish and Norfolk.
Every word was checked against at least two independent dialect sources before it went on a print, and anything we could only find in one place was left off.
These prints sit well in a kitchen, hallway or home office, and make a thoughtful gift for someone who moved away from home. Printed in the UK on 180gsm lustre paper, from A5 to A2, or framed from A5 to A3. See the whole regional sayings range.
