Not sure who might know the answers to these but
a) what is a "green goose" ? (and how do you cook it?)
b) when they used to count tubs in the Ashington area they used the same
numbering system as they used for counting sheep. It went something along
the lines of "Um, Tum, Tiggera". Does anyone know how it went all the way
up to 20 - which I gather was the limit.
Thanks
