I'm going to guess on all of them. - wittle - Little? - rammel - to smash: "the truck was rammelled by the train" - piggle - to eat voraciously: "the jack russell piggled herself on dog food" - ta-tar - the stuff on top of roads: " I rammelled my ca-car into the ta-tar" - Beeroff - it's like a bake-off or a chili contest: "my hubby won the beeroff by drinking 47 cans of beer in a row" - claggy - when your clown gets saggy - bobo - hmmm. this one is too hard. OK how'd I do?

Hannah - I love it! Give us some more...and do you really say 'carnt'? We tend to drop the T off the end! Pretty, excellent guesses, and they made me howl with laughing, but.....all 7 wrong! Sorry, very imaginative, and loving the saggy clown, I didn't know I needed a word meaning saggy clown, but now I wish 'claggy' meant that! ;D I will give you the answers, but will give the other ladies a day to guess. Oh, and I'm really sorry Pretty but not one was close. If you ever come to Derby ladies (not that you would because it is a total doldrum) I will gladly act as your interpreter!xxx

LOL, not really 'carnt' [some people say "casn't"] but Bristolians add an R to any word it can fit into and drag the Rs out as long as you can. Not rolling Rs in the French way, but emphasised; especially words that end in er, and especially after a few pints of cider. The more pints of cider, the longer the 'er' at the end of ciderrrrrr becomes. Wha'everrrrrrr. There's also a tendency to add and L to end of everything; eg idea = ideal. That's actually how it became Bristol. It used to be called Bridgestowe, but with the locals adding an L it became Bridgestowl then Bristol.
I'm still lost on your list, though if beeroff isn't a competition then it must mean like a bargain boozer or an off licence. And I suspect wittle means worry/fret/fuss...? Can't even guess at the other ones. Guess I'z a right jammy bugger fur avin you if I come up Derby, annaye?

Pretty, your answers gave me a stomach cramp I was laughing so hard. I'm having a bad day pain wise and so am finishing up my day working from home on reports I have to edit (just finished!!), and I certainly needed the laugh. Though maybe not the cramp!

I'm with you. I sometimes think "no, I can't have an asthma problem now because my poor ovary can't take the coughing!". But your post made my night.

Ok, I will give you the answers; I don't want to be held responsible for Pretty causing and ruptured cysts!:
Wittle - worry, as in "gi o'er wittlin" Rammel - rubbish, "er ause (house) jammed wi rammel" Piggle - fiddling, "gi o'er pigglin yus scab" Ta-tar - argument or bad event, "he ad a reet ta-tar wi is gaffer (boss or manager)" Beeroff - off licence, shop selling booze, also known as the "offee" Claggy - stuck together, like our claggy insides due to endo Bobo - horse, also known as "oss"
The thing is, I live in Derbyshire, go to the pub in Leicestershire, and went to school and work in Nottinghamshire so I have so many different local-isms it's ridic!
Oh, and Hannah, love the tolian! Round ere wis jus add 's' too owt an drop letters off t en of middle of wors.
The word I have always struggled with is Bonny! Everywhere else in the country thinks it means beautiful, but round here it just means overweight! I remember the first time a chap from Yorkshire called me Bonny, I just wanted to lamp him one!x

Pretty, you should really consider a career as a comic writer. You're amazing.
