Hi Belinda, me and my dad used to love the fights we used to listen on the wireless, one night we went to the Playhouse on the corner of Queens Rd and Oldham Rd, to watch the newsreel of a fight between Freddie Mills and Bruce Woodc*ck, they stood toe to toe, for the whole fight, very exciting. Another great fight Ricky Hatton v Kosta Tszyu. Regards, F.W.

Oh! Belinda, are you sure you want to know the true meaning of the word "fettlin" ? Type in the word to this link, if you really want to know? but as you are a lady, i am sure you will just give this a miss. Err as you said it comes from Oldham , did any one ever ask you " how ya fettlin " 
www.urbandictionary.com/
MIGKY Hi Migky,I couldnt resist looking at the link,Oh my god,I died a thousand deaths No one's said it to me and most importantly,ive never said it to anyone else,ive heard it said hundreds of times around oldham.I just thought it meant"how are you".How thick am i   Im pretty certain it must have a differant meaning in oldham though,Ive heard it in shops,market stalls,etc. x Belinda |

Hi Belinda, I didnt know what the true meaning of it was until I looked at the Link that Olly posted. Like you, Belinda, I thought it meant "How are you doing?" and I suppose its still used in that vein in some parts. Would men still use that saying if they knew the real meaning??? OF COURSE THEY WOULD !!!
