Botchituk, Seeing as I am originally from the complete opposite end of the country this is my guess:-

Look at that young woman over there with the man with the big feet(?) and big dog, with the boy giving the womand a big sweetie (or is it a biscuit?)!

Never heard of plaffs just think it sounds like feet but of course the man could have anything else 'big'  ;)
Equality isn't everyone being the same, equality is recognising that being different is normal.

Hi Wicker, I'll give you 9 out of 10 for that, not quite a Blue Peter badge for you yet. Just the one word wrong. A Chowie aint a sweetie or a biscuit!!
Howay the lads
