Wooly back is a term used to describe someone from the small farming communities, in Hampshire, of Havant and Waterloovile. The locals speak with a strange dialect, which is a hybrid between West Country and London Cockney.
The surrounding farming villages, Purbrook, Crookhorn, Horndean, Bedhampton and Cowplain are all a stone toss away. They attend all, home and away, Havant and Waterloovile FC fixtures. The blokes
will dress up as scarecrows and their wives
will wear their
sheep skin jackets and fur boots. All clothing
will be hand made and fashioned together in a rustic like manor.
Before home games they
will drink in The Heron and The West Leigh.
A towny overheard a Wooly back trying to communicate:
“Ize fram Point
Seven ize is, ize been shopping in
BP, we never been having a fuel problem”. “That polak served me, Dawid, he been smelling funny me babba”.
And “Ize can’t
stop laffin when ize been shanting”.
