English term or phrase: Somebody wor in our garden last neet
"Somebody wor in our garden last neet. I bet it wor them little buggers."
Old men have this conversation in England, Yorkshire, in the 60's. I think "neet" can be "night". What can wor be, and what does the order of words mean in the second sentence?

Hungarian translation:valaki vót a kertünkben tennap éjjel
Explanation:
"wor" a "was" tájnyelvi formája. A második mondatban "them" = "they", de inkább "those" értelemben. Tehát "Fogadok hogy azok a csirkefogók voltak."
