May 12, 201412 yr Okay folks, we all remember going to the fish shop and getting fish and chips and the free leftover batter. But what was the leftover batter called? I remember it being called something like sratchings or scranchings!!! But according to Wikipedia it is indigenous to the north east and it was called SCRAPS!!!! Not down our way it wasn't. So what was it called where you lived?
May 13, 201412 yr Scamchuns or Scratchings all the same delicious when you a hungry kid ................
May 13, 201412 yr I will go with Keith's scranchings, or maybe without the g. Aren't they illegal under EU law by now? Think I'm joking see http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-22579896. You can pretty much guarantee that the med countries will ignore this, but it will be enforced by the gestapo in the northern parts of the Fourth Reich! But - could set up schranching speakeasies! The roaring twenties will be around again quite soon.
June 30, 201412 yr Best saying it as you remember it! Be careful though canny lass might give you a quote on accent or dialect.????It's all phonology to me nice everyday word.....
June 30, 201412 yr It's an industrial injury, Tonyp. Personally i Always said scranchuns - pure dialect. Not a bit of accent involved.
