    "Are you about?"

    Comment
    "Are you about?" in a sense of "Are you (t)here?"

    I have heard this construction lately (from a native speaker) and was wondering if that's even "proper english" or some kind of dialect. ;)

    Thanks in advance.

    I reckon it's proper English, albeit not with 100 per cent certainty.
