Yes John, I saw Mick on Sunday and he had to 'fess up. I didn't have the full story though. Mick's dad had told him that ossonflags was a warning that a creature of an equine nature had succeeded in travessing over to the part of the carriageway normally reserved for pedestrians. So the cry would probably be 'eyup ossonflags', proving that, once again, 'ullferk can get an important message over with a paucity of verbiage.

I'm hoping for better than an ant or a spider though. I shall probably hold out for a cockroach at least.
