Thanks for all your answers / guesses / suggestions / comments. Several people have rightly pointed out that some form of context would have been helpful for some of these ...

Lurgi / lurgy: Illness, disease (often no more than a cold or rash)
Mardy: Cross, bad-tempered (of a small child)
Owt or nowt?: Anything or nothing? (as in, "What's happening, owt or nowt?")
It's black over (o'er) Bill's mother's: There are dark clouds, portending rain, in the middle distance
Monkey: Fox
Charlie / charlie: Fox again
Aye: Yes
Peedie / peerie: Little (Orkney / Shetland; but I like it)
Haslet / Harslet: I think the description of it as "pork meatloaf" is as good as any; you buy it sliced, and eat it cold in sandwiches etc

I forgot to say, I hope you're not feeling too miserably coldish.

Thank you. I am reaching a miserable stage at the moment - I can feel a cup of tea coming on.
