However, a 'beck' has nothing to do with the footballer bloke! Keep guessing!Now, your words - 'kecks' are 'undies' or 'trousers' and I think it's Irish English, but I'm not too sure. I have no idea what 'mardy' is though.One all so far!!ATB Hi Ria,
No problem about the link – I’ve been looking to something similar to my blog for ages so I was glad to have found yours and will return.

About the strange words: Yes, ‘baps’ are indeed bread rolls – as referred to by people in the NE of England. However, a ‘beck’ has nothing to do with the footballer bloke! Keep guessing!

Now, your words – ‘kecks’ are ‘undies’ or ‘trousers’ and I think it’s Irish English, but I’m not too sure.
I have no idea what ‘mardy’ is though.

One all so far!!
