Do any of you still use “mardy” or call something “a rum old do”

Couple of weeks back I mentioned this FB page, which I find fascinating

I might occasionally refer to someone as a "rum owd bvgger", which is very West Suffolk/Bury. Vivid memory of my friend's late mother using the phrase in her broad accent.

He still describes his girlfriend as "mardy" on occasion.

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

As someone who grew up near the banks of the Stour, I can confirm that you are all incorrect and it is, in fact, pronounced "Stour"

My mother’s family are from Oulton Broad .Very strong accent, and a tendence to add “togither” on the end of a sentence.
