My dad used to use the "Making layo'ers for medlars" one, when asked what he was doing. I only found out recently that the medlars in question were the fruit - like a pear - and a layo'er is a fruit net.

I'm still trying to find out who Tommy Berry was. This was one of dad's favourite expressions if someone was having a tantrum or acting manic. "Having a Tommy Berry do" was what he called it. I never heard anyone else say it.
