Well done for the apology - and for the acceptance! Life's too short to get too uptight for too long! Always used mardy when I was at school in Northampton in the 1950s/60s. Dread to think what expression is used today! Sue |

Hi Chris Which part of the North East are you from? Can't be too near Grimsby or else you would have heard of Mardy before. Everybody gets mardy in Grimsby. Jane |

Hi Jane I'm from Stockton in Cleveland.Hubby from Thornaby and he's heard of Mardy but I've never heard him use it. I use to work with a young girl a few years ago now and she was called Mardy(short for Margaret).I hope she didn't know what it meant either.She was a bubbly girl nothing Mardy about her. Chris |
