I think I've got this worked out, but could anyone confirm my
translation of the Hull speech impediment?

"dob them in to their gaffers"

Indeed - "gaffers" can extend to HR Managers and directors.

I think this means that anyone stealing from, or defrauding their
employers should be grassed up. Is that correct?

Does this apply to employees of BP Chemicals?

Oh yes - I understand that they promise to take action.

"dead drop", "live drop".

I assume this refers to grocery deliveries, but does anyone have a clue
what these phrases actually mean?


No - they are related to drugs deliveries. Drug taking is quite a social
problem in Hull

"our lass".

Does this refer to the 16 stone sweaty wife of a Hull resident?

No - I am sorry you have this wrong. It refers to a 15 stone sweaty wife -
after she has lost a full stone over a six month period.

"a session up Sprout Hill".

Is this a reference to consensual anal sex?

Yes - exactly right.

The track star, who looks likely to defend his titles in the team
sprint and the keirin this summer, with Jason Kenny favourite to
secure the single GB spot in the individual sprint, needs one gold
medal to match Sir Steve Redgrave’s British record of five; the rower
also has one bronze medal, but Hoy already has a silver in his
collection.

It would be truly remarkable if Sir Chris could surpass Steve
Redgrave's total of five golds.
Mind you, he already has a knighthood.

Maybe they could make him Lord Hoy of somewhere like they did with Seb
Coe.
