Anston Water Rats

A Memory of Dinnington.

My father, Eric Gray born 1925, lived in Laughton Common can remember a saying he used when he was at school - Anston water rats, Dinnington Bugs, Laughton Commoners will bash their lugs. Can any one else remember this saying or help with memories of the 1930's? He went to work at Dinnington colliery at the age of 14, now in his late 80's. Thank you.
