In reference to the use of the word 'Dinlo'
I remember being called a Dinlo when I was at primary school. We had an occasional classmate (can't remember her name) who was a gypsy / traveller (no offence intended through my possible misuse of the correct language). I was about 7 or 8 at the time and she used the word to mean idiot / silly person. I'd never heard it used before and haven't heard it used since. She was different from the other kids and used to only appear every few months when she was back in the area, as such she got a fairly hard time. Shame, as she was alright. This was about 30 years ago.
Interesting to hear this word again anyway.
CSB and all that. Hope you all get your money back.
