IF you're from Reading then there will be certain phrases only you have heard of.

In recent weeks we've delved into the Reading dialect and how it has changed over decades.

Whether you speak with a twang and pronounce 'water' as warter' or say Berkshire as 'Barkshire' - there are many things that set us apart from others.

Reading residents also tend to say the phrase 'cheeselog'.

But how do you explain this word to someone when they look at you funny?

It's a strange term but many people in Berkshire use it.

Reading Chronicle:

The true definition of a cheese log is a woodlouse.

You would say for example 'chopped out a fair amount of garden overgrowth disturbed a lot of cheeselogs'.

Other areas in the UK also call woodlice a similar name like "cheesy bobs" in Guildford, "cheesy bug" in Gravesend and "cheesy lou" in Suffolk.

It's still a mystery as to why Reading people have coined this phrase.
