"Well put me on a horse and point me in the direction of Carlisle" - Cumbrian saying
An old signpost in Cumbria apparently once said: "To Kendal: X6" A lovely mixture of roman and modern numbers!
A Cumbrian prayer of old for those risking a trip to London: “In the name of God, Amen. Because I am at this instant, God assysting mee, intendyd to go for London, and that no mortal man is certayne of his saffe returne."
"Ah'll tell tha a stworey,
About Jack Lworey;
An' that's me teal begun.
...He went intul t' wood;
An comm oot again.
Seah noo me stworey iss deun."
- Old Cumberland jingle
