I wouldn't have a clue who Kane Dingle was, even if I fell over him as I don't watch soaps.

I don't watch any tv, except if housesitting, on holiday or xmas, but I still know who Cain is

Now please don't mention eastenders and a certain Mr Dyer or I may have to lie down

@spikeyfridge - cain drinks in a pub like 5 mins walk from my house, it got changed into an Italian bar/ restaurant, then for the daytime an ice cream parlour, guess who turned up to promote it -

Thank you sir... I couldn't wish for an higher honour. You know he's right, but just don't want to say.

Ok I have to ask, I know exactly what was meant, finger you - god I feel bad writing it, dob you in, grass you up, report you -  but do the whole country use that term, or would it mean - well you know something different?

sammy13 i would take it in the way that is rude.

ive never heard the sayin like the way sandie ment it, i think its one of the old fashion sayings i even had a google at result came back very different to what i was looking for lol

Up north it means - I will grass you up, hand you over to the police, proove you are lying, etc.

sammy13 i didnt know that lol i do think he was using that phrase in the term you have pointed out. just an odd thing to say to a bunch of kids on tv lol specially with all the child abuse claims going on lol

That was exactly what I thought when you mentioned it, which is why I asked although It did embarrass me to be honest, I'm outspoken but ............ just those words .........if other parts of the country don't know the meaning ............. I didn't see the show but he obviously meant he will tell their parents, the police whomever, grass them up if the general term for finger you, but if it is not country wide

sammy13 i saw it but didnt really take much notice of what it was regarding until i asked someone, just made me giggle

soaps bore me to tears these days, just too much content. They should go back to one episode per week.
