In the early years of ITV, Granada had a film made in Leigh (Lancs) about two boys ferriting. It was only shown in the North West but still needed subtitles. I would love to see it again. What chance?

Word for "pop" (fizzy drink) was mineral. Children who "skrike" (cry) easily are "mard" or "soft".
They may be told that "their bladder is too near their eyes"!I still "pull the chain", not flush the toilet, and people who feel the cold are "nesh". We used to "porm about" the shops, and give people a "pow slap" when they had a hair cut.
