Today, preoccupied, I said to a visiting child who I was about to take

phones, etc.

Is this word in use in other areas, or is it just Yorkshire?


According to Wright's 1896 "The English Dialect Dictionary" a bit wider:

I'm a bit surprised you don't have a well-thumbed copy of Wright's so as
to be able to educate the grandchildren on their heritage


As it was possibly written by Bill (or just maybe his forbears) he
probably has a number of copies that were presented by his publisher.
