An expression meaning chimney from the Black Country in central England which has it's own version of English which is virtually a language of it's own. Thus:
"If yow doh get that chimbley clayned by a chimbley swayp it's gunna catch alight"
Which translates as:
"If you don't get that chimney cleaned by a chimney sweep it's going to catch fire'
Which translates as:
