Now, it's many years since I heard that phrase and I was thought , given the context in which it was used, it had a positive meaning. Similar to 'sitting pretty' etc.

So I had me a little google.

"Dickie's Meadow", a well-known Northern expression, possibly refers to Sandals Meadow where the battle of Wakefield took place and where Richard met his end. The common view held that Richard was ill-advised to fight here. The expression is usually used to warn against risky action. ("If you do that you'll end up in Dickie's Meadow".) It is a moot point how early the expression arose, and whether through folk memory or local history

Battle Of Wakefield

I'd know nowt bowt google, me.

I've never known it to have a positive connotation, Dostaf.

My misinterpretation.

First and maybe only time I'd heard it was from a teacher at school. I think he was talking about landing jobs.

Shirt

Seat

Seat, as in something to sit on, not manufacturer.

I call those seats mother-in-law seats

Just thinking about you, Mache, as I'm afraid I'm going to use a F****h accent as I type this:

Dicky tiqueur

Mint

Still looking for a pic of a doo dah.

Anybody with a box ?

♪♫♪Put on your dickie dirt♪♫♫♪

This do, Mache?

Is it a doo dah, or a di doh, Kryten?

Sung with great gusto in this

Whatever it is it has extremely long hair Mr D.

I knew it wouldn't take long to lower the tone.

I don't know. I start a lovely new informatve thread about the wars of the roses, then find myself getting a Molly Morgan ear-worm in me head.

And that bloody Country Life butter song has just reappeared.

Same tune:

♪♫♪♫And it's lovely with a crumpet - but don't tell the wife♪♫♪♫

"Some people" eh.

True.

Dicky bow.

Dicky Quiff

Found one, dicky box

Surely that's a bird box Mache.

And the ice gets thinner.

No wonder

I'm just waiting for inferences about that filthy joke about squatters on a certain farm.

Possibly in Ireland.

dickie,s meadow is a very short distance from scriven,s bridge.

Dostaf:
Must have been something dickie goin' on yesterday.

...in the other semi final.
The dickie box Clive Tyldesly on the half time whistle saying 'and City just about shading it'
Is he for real?

That term's new to me, Pisolivadi.

I saw it, Pisolivadi, but kept schtum.

It did get included after you mentioned it, up there ^^^^^

I thought Mache was as mad as a box of frogs after the dicky ticqueur mention.

Does mad as a box of frogs mean 'mad'- angry?

Hopping mad, perhaps?

I always thought it meant mad as in barking.

Google time.

Lots make similar error with mad as a wasp in a tin can.

A face like a sack of smashed crabs

That piano player is wuss than Dicks Hat band,

Don't forget Dickie Bird......nicest umpire of cricket the world has ever seen......

Too late, Lizzie.

See Kryten's 14th Apr 2013 at 17:50

Just shows.....lazy link looker ater I am.....

Kryten won't mind.

Others would probably sulk.

Dick Whittington and his cat......

You don't mean Mache, do you?

He'd probably moan about it, and the cat.

I know what you meant, really, Lizzie.

Dustaf.......

Springtime for Richard

I've been reading this thread and smiling at the posts.

Never heard of Dickie's Meadow before though.

Eeeh, I learn a lot on here.

If you ask me nicely, I'll tell you how to get google to send you stuff.

You are typing to the converted.

He's having a Dickie fit,

"Which side do you dress on?"

Another dickie....Richard Cranium.....a thinking person who uses his head to work things out???? hello.....

Guess who i've just seen

Well spotted, Mache.

My husband says when you have seen one spotted dick you have seen them all......he says....

The proof of the pudding isn't in the repeating then, Lizzie.

Not currantly

Spotted Richard or Sultana Sponge

What a dickie of an idea......looks soooooo.....yummmmmmy....
