Get over on your own side

The first 18 years of my life I lived in the same street with my parents. However, I spent the first five years in a different house. Until I was five, until just after my sister was born we lived in No 5. But then we moved across the street to No 12, as on that side the houses had more bedrooms. I remmeber when I was still living in No 5 being told by kids from the other side to "get over your own side" which was rather mean, although I tended to stare as a kid and I probably annoyed them.

Wagons

Several of my uncles were lorry drivers and bus drivers. They tended torefer to their lorries as wagons, a  northern rather than a Welsh expression. The term artic (short for articulated) used to confuse me. I thought these might be refrigerated lorries.
