That is not the meaning of "cack 'anded" but I'll leave it a little longer perhaps someone else will come along to enlighten. :p
I went for the option that allowed for the word 'arse' in my answer ;) |

Re: Strange British sayings
As a youngsters, I had these three replies to the question of "What's for Tea?" Not sure how widely they are used though.
Answer 1) Scotch Mist 2) A Walk Around the Table 3) S**t with Sugar |

Answer 1) Scotch Mist 2) A Walk Around the Table 3) S**t with Sugar When we moved back here my little boy was very confused when my mum asked him if he'd had his "tea" I had to explain she meant dinner. |

Yes it is left handed. I'm of out to vote now so I'll check for the results later.:) Also for left handed "cuddy handed" . Cuddy is a NE term for donkey. Also short for Cuthbert, and so Cuddy Ducks. Cuddy ducks are eiderducks, but named after St Cuthbert. Got that? more phrases How about Have a butchers, Have a shuftie Have a gander. Sayings, hmm. All round Will's mother's. In Bedfordshire this means to take the long way round. |
