I remember the bemusement when I was telling my colleagues here in Rome about Enzo's potentially broken arm, “and he hadn't even told me he had a pot on his arm..” after a lengthy silence, “Is someone going to ask her what a pot is?” Apparently it's a word restricted to Yorkshire and the North East!
