I can't concentrate on what I'm being told as I have this vision of people revovling in the middle of the pavement or the pub or where ever
Funny, I've always associated that with people older than me, because the only time I ever heard it used when I was a child was by grown ups.

As for people using the diff fifty years and more ago, I never heard it in Grangetown, Fairwater or Pentrebane, the areas I lived in during my sixty years plus living in the city - I only became aware of it in the last decade.
