RMweb Gold TheSignalEngineer Posted February 2, 2015 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 2, 2015 That's a West Country phrase, not Black Country! Perhaps it should be Bostin, meaning "very good indeed" like in "We 'ad a bostin time" or "Ers a bostin wench" Not to be confused with Bost-up (fight) or Bosted (broken) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
