GUEST,greg stephens Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? (MacColl) (406* d) RE: Help: Dirty Old Town? Meaning??? 26 Jun 02

I think "croft"has a tendency to be displaced because it's a fairly obscure bit of northern dialect, not currently much in use these days onthe Manchester side of the Pennines, though still around more in Yorkshire. Mark Burke,our very Mancunian and youngest member of the Boat Band, not only doesnt sing "croft", he didnt even know what a "croft" was.
