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”.
