You know you've been listening to Roy Moore when you say....
Went to Sheringham today and had a lovely walk along the beach and back over the cliff path.
It was sunny with a brisk easterly breeze; temp about 22°Chris. 
As we sat on the bench, I said

"It would be chilly if it wasn't so warm."

Definitely been listening to Roy Moore!

Anyone else made their own Mooreism?
Everything will be alright in the end. And if it's not alright, it's not yet the end.

A moorism I don't understand is a "skutch," he says there's a skutch of riders coming implying that it means many, then a speed of a skutch over 100 mph implying it means a little, which is correct ? Can a manxie put me right please.

No problem - lots of evolved Manx words out there .. in winter you'd throw a scutch of coal on the fire and have a nice bravvag(brabbag), if you get called a govag or a mollag they aren't complimentary terms haha
