On nights last night with a Nigerian lad, lived in North Ormesby for years. We were having a good laugh when Now Then came up.

I tried to explain it means nothing. It's just a way to start a conversation with someone you know, or don't know.

Was I right? and is it only a Boro thing.

Remember always greeting a lass from Hastings with "now then" and she always replied "now then what?". It just didn't make any sense to her
