Things our parents/grandparents used to say!

[julesapple]

I use them all too. Everytime I trot one of those sayings out I think, Gawd, I'm turning into Ma or my Nan. But when I think about that, it's not such a bad thing after all. Both are to be admired.

I caught myself saying 'What the hell is that bl**dy awful noise?' My father used to say it when I was watching TOTP. My children were watching MTV.....

When asked; "Where did I put my..." My Nan used to say;

"In Annie's room, behind the clock!"



WTF was that all about!?

Remembered another one. When asked what's to eat: Airpie and pullet.

[Glutton4...]

"What's for tea?" Was answered with;

"Egg sandwich with no bread."

or;

"Three jumps at the Pantry door."

When surprised by something - "Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs."
My late MiL used to say if someone was puzzled, "You look like Mulberry's dickey, inwardly wexed"!
Yes I know, I didn't understand it either. I suppose I was inwardly wexed.
