Skyberries and Voidmelons or Voidberries and Skymelons

My mum used to say "It's a bit black over Bill's mothers" a lot too, and we lived near Wolverhampton. I too thought it was a black country or brummie thing, although I suppose Leicester isn't too far away.

I'll always remember her using that phrase, because once, as she said it on a canal towpath, a black man walked past and my mum was worried he thought she was referring to him!
