So I'll be seeing thee... !!

I am not too hot on translation. But I think I've got this one..

[JBR]

All correct, except no. 6

He says it isn't his, but I bet it is!

(No. 2 is nowt to do wi false teeth!)  Scrumpy got it.

[klondike]

Ah I thought number 2 was the noise made when false teeth were swallowed. Is it maybe something to do with a maladjusted truss then?

Yes, that sounds convincing.
Perhaps it can be used for both instances!

How about these from my hometown? 😉.

2. WHUTDAETHEYCREHYE?

3. 'SDOONTHECUNDIE

4. EH'MAWAFIRAWESH

5. E'LLHAEANINGINBRIDIEFIRMEHDENNER

6. WHARDAEYESTAY?

[Scrumpy]

I have tried ..

I think number 6 is..  Would/Should I stay.. !!

[klondike]

I think I'd do better if I actually heard it. Much better after a few pints 

Trouble is apart from the supposed accent I think there are words in there I don't recognise either.

GIEZAPIECENJAM might just be asking for bread or toast and jam

'SDOONTHECUNDIE I'd guess means tits up

WHARDAEYESTAY? might be where do I stay/go/stand

The rest are clearly complaints about a jock strap that is undersized.

[Scrumpy]

Wife no 3 was Scottish so I used to know a lot of the sayings but I've forgotten many of them over the years.

3: down the drain. Such as 'what a waste of money, you may as well have pissed it down the drain'.
4: I'm going to have a wash.
5: I can't remember what 'bridie' is but he's having it for his dinner.
6: where do you live?

[Alex]

Think bridie is a pastie ?
