I would say very few people outside Preston have ever heard the word cha, never mind know what it means.
It’s definitely never made it down as far as London

I did a holiday job at Direct Poultry, Inskip, when i was a kid, i think it still exists, that was a term I heard, often, used out there.
I use to hear it a lot in the mid 90s when I was a young electrician working with some of the older sparks.
Still there mate. Most of my ancestors are buried in Inskip Church round the corner!!

Now you’re talking cha. 😂
Only heard “cha” on here, user name/posts.
Fettler though ………. 👏👏👏👏
I’d buy 2; 10 if combined with graphic of butter pie & parched peas. 🤩
Jesus mate, stories I could tell you about rum stuff that went on around there back in the day. And that’s just my family!! Other half are buried at Woodplumpton and that’s not much better!!

So your not a fan cha?
I've always found hearing the word 'cha' used so weird but I grew up in East Lancashire where its definitely not used. I always thought it was sort of Preston area slang for 'mate' or 'pal' etc.
Why the fuck we have it on the back of one of our shirts though.....I just laughed when I saw it.

Think that many from Walton le Dale area will be able to say that, there seemed to be a mass migration late 1700's for the good growing conditions.
Geez, wish they would get this t o done!

This "cha" thing only seems to be used tagged on after insults from what I've seen.
I see/hear it more from Lashers mocking us than anywhere else.
It's like a hollow "boss man" from a new barber or "yes my friend" off a kebab shop owner when you're pissed. Certainly no pride in it anyway.

I don't particularly like all the tatoos, I don't think they go with the shirt.
On second thoughts, maybe they do.

That should have read as "never heard that before" btw.
Presumed as much. Geordie mate won’t take too kindly to being lumped in with Sunderland and Durham though!! Bit parochial up there!!

All reet, cha, isn't it, as in... are you alright
I don't think so. Cha used to be char. It's just chav speak, a universal term for anyone and everyone, Cha !
Interesting to see so much snobbery about a simple local colloquialism. Personally I take a lot of pride in 'Cha', it is uniquely ours.
