Explanation of 'summat'

Somebody asked me the other day about 'summat' (Got To Show You Summat!), so I felt it warranted a little explanation...

I have a very vivid memory (though my parents probably don't remember this), of running in the house and declaring "Mum! I've got to tell you summat!".
Where I grew up in Lancashire (cough...the correct side of the Pennines...), summat is short for / slang for / lazy-speak for 'something'. 

Therefore, when I spot something on my web-based travels, I shall be declaring to you - "Got to show you summat!".

So there...
