Cream crackered = Knackered ( to be extremely tired or worn out - applies to inanimate objects as well )I'm confused Noreen. You've moved from Bury to Bury, in Lancashire. Are you sure you've moved? Even if you discover you haven't, can we still have a house warming party ?
Bury is quite a common name all over england, I could be completely wrong about this, but I think it comes from buriel mounds - a bury - of which there are loads, every where.
