As children, if we were rooting about in Grans cupboard... (you know the one, the it's the one built to the side of the chimey breast with provisions in, just in case a state of emergency or WW3 were to be declared, I swear we could've stocked asda!), and we found something we hadn't seen before, asking 'Whats this for Grandma'? would bring the reply, 'Put it back, it's a catcher for meddlers'!
Also, if Gran said hello to anyone whilst out & about and we asked who it was, she'd say ' its Icky,t' fire bobby'
