No, it's someone from t'mill towns who goes t' foot of their stairs when Mr.Arkwright 'as trooble at t'mill. Eeh, by 'eck. Sometimes also referred to as a woollyback by scousers.

I know how that bizarre descalambulatory idiom is used, but I wish someone would explain just why, and what its origins are (this doesn't mean class or geography). A bit like the American funky, when not used for a bad odour; no American has ever really given me a good explanation of what on earth it actually means, only where you say it.

Funky means cool, strange, weird or smelly depending on context.

As in," The Pendraken Forum is funky, man!"
