An expression of joy and pleasure at the return of a favourite subject to the HH Forum of Choice. This phrase can be extended to other less important aspects of life. An instant classic when it first appeared on PC screens at CG.com in March 2008 the originator was too generous to have the phrase copyrighted, and too modest to enter it in the Encyclopedia himself.
I for one am glad to see this subject back on our screens again.

The yard or garden at the rear of the house in which a Holyheadian might live. The back may be absolutely tiny (see Armenia Terrace) or massive (see New Park Road) and may be behind, in front of, or indeed alongside the house - but its still the back.
Dad said if I go and buy his bacco he'll let me off breaking the line in the back.

Pronounced backitchin. The majority of Holyhead's population live in terraced houses, the kitchens of which are, mainly at the back of the house and overlooking the back (as in yard). Referred to as the backitchin even when not at the back of the house.
When I was little my Mam used to give me a wash all over in the backitchin.

A town just off Anglesey. Technically a city because of its cathedral (St. Cybi's is better, though). And a university (which is full of people from Town anyway). Oh, and some decent shops (but our Bargains Galore is bigger).
Anyway, Bangor's not as good as Holyhead, okay? So be quiet.

A street that stood where the garages now are behind Cybi Place/Park Street and the back of the town hall. This area is sometimes known as the Salvage due to recycling operations conducted there by the council years ago. Baptist Terrace was a small collection of white-washed cottages with immaculate front gardens and are remembered for being in a 'sun trap'.
Shall we go and play British and Germans on the rubble of Baptist Terrace in the Salvage. It'll be nice and warm there yeah.
