Welcome, ihsankesmen.




Try this spelling,
If I could only tike them an' you too, swop me bob, I should be 'appy. ... Why, 'is leg swell up till it was as big round as 'is body, swop me bob, it did. ...

There are more examples here: "swop me bob" - Google Search And my apologies, I'm not 100% sure what swop me bob means, but BobK or Tdol probably will, so hold on. (I'm a North American speaker of English.)

All the best.
