This is, incidentally, the origin of the Lincolnshire saying 'do you come from Bardney?' if you leave the door open! http://aclerkofoxford.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/do-you-come-from-bardney.html …
@caitlinrgreen @ClerkofOxford when I was a child in Lincoln, my parents used epithet "Bardney!" to admonish, should I leave a door open :-(
@CatherineEsse @caitlinrgreen @ClerkofOxford which means what. ..
;-0)
@HyettNeal @caitlinrgreen @ClerkofOxford I like way that, in my family by mid 20th C, whole meaning of tale transmuted into just one word :)
@HyettNeal @caitlinrgreen @ClerkofOxford tho should add, parental figure would then often take delight in recounting more detail of story!
@CatherineEsse @HyettNeal @ClerkofOxford Hah! It's a great story, any excuse! :)
