What Does it Mean?...

It's been a while since I posted one of these, so here is another little quiz - mostly for the benefit of my non-British friends!  Here are a number of words and phrases commonly used in Britain (or they were common years ago), and I would like you to identify them and their meanings.

Some are slang, and some are just regular words or phrases - as weird as they may sound.  Some are more regional, but are common enough to be included here.  So, no cheating (ie using Google), and let me know your answers!
