If I offered you a croggy - would you know what I meant?

[Shaun]

Sat in the pub taking about bike stuff and someone mentioned giving his friend a croggy home. Which lead to a discussion about whether croggy was a Hull thing, or whether it was country-wide or worldwide?

So, let me know if you know what a "croggy" is? and whether it is called something different in your part of the world?

Cheers,
Shaun

Never heard of 'croggy', but assume it means 'crossy': sitting on the cross bar.

Not an Essex term, AFAIK.

Never heard of a croggy but, having to guess, I ended up with the same idea as Dayvo. If it's that, then I can't think of an equivalent term dahhn in Lahhnn.
