World Wide Words - a web site to enjoy !
I was using Google to research the words 'grockle' and 'emmet' - being a West Country girl myself I was unsure how widely these words were known outside 't't West Country. And I came across a web site which seems to be both fun and useful - here is the definition for 'Kippers and Curtains' - http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-kip2.htm
Hope you enjoy a browse around !

I've never heard the phrase "kippers and curtains" before. It almost sounds like something the writers of Frasier came up with, to show off their (alleged) knowledge of "British" (ie English) expressions!
