Gawd i still use a lot of those phrazes, my lad is a very good door than a window & he never puts the 'wood in the hole' aka lives in a barn, another one is 'pick yer feet up off the floor' when one shuffles feet whilst walking, my dads particular fav saying is scruffy herbert, for looking scruffy, dunno where that comes from
Oh & go & play on the railway lines/morway aka bog off & play out or find something to do - geee good job we never took it literally. Another one is engage the brain before tha gob - my eldest favourite not LOL!
