Baggin time by happypat

Baggin time

Time for a brew!

Lancashire sayings still commonly used today!

Baggin is a the time of the day when the work stops & you take a short break.
A cup of tea or a brew & a bite to eat perhaps.
Saw these chaps as we walked the canal path.

Three good things:
1. Weeding! Hard work in the sun today but a good job done. Not finished but it looks better.
2. A sunny day at last!
3. Looking forward to a quiet lazy day tomorrow fingers crossed!
Interesting looking building...
Good job on the weeding and can be hard work in the heat.. Job I need to get done as well.. easy to put off in the colder weather..

I’ve definitely heard of a brew, but haven’t heard of baggin. At home it was referred to as having “mashed”! I do find the English language, especially the colloquial stuff fascinating.
Nice that they can be outside for a brew!

Very nice. Weeding is quite satisfying really.

I didn’t know that. I shall have to discuss with my son in law. Good story-telling shot.

I love your viewpoint and story, the workers in high vis orange sets the scene off perfectly , faved

A lovely scene with the pop of orange attracting the eye to the men ! - never heard of baggin !! - but then why should I Language and dialects are so interesting and complex aren't they ! In welsh the old term used for the men stopping for a mid morning cuppa and a sandwich was "bait "-- I wonder was it a Welsh version of bite ( a bite to eat !! ) So hot today how did you manage to be out to weed ! I am afraid I lay low in the shade !

You could use the word, "powfagged' if you were feeling inclined, Pat! Interesting to learn about!

@beryl I e heard of bait before Beryl….another good descriptive word! I was a fool out in the sun…I drank loads last night but I can look out on the garden with no guilt….still weeds but I can’t see them! 🤣

@phil_howcroft Thank you, I took it in a hurry Phil, was frightened they would think I was spying…not nearly as sharp as I would have liked!

@carole_sandford Mashed…that’s a new one on me…so interesting the different dialects.

Baggin time! I absolutely love that. I had a fiance once who was from Yorkshire and he always talked about mashing the tea. I always remember the laugh of the Carry on up the Khyber film and how they had "Tiffin Time" in the afternoon.......though that was a bit of a double entendre where Sid James was concerned LOL

In NZ it is often called 'smoko' - time for a cuppa and a smoke I guess.
June 17th, 2022  
Lovely shot.
June 17th, 2022  
@casablanca yes tiffin, smoko…..wonderful words I’m sure there are many more! Thanks girls!
June 17th, 2022  
Interesting new word - I have never heard that one!
