Chuck your muck where your love lies...... and if we were leaning on a grown up (like when you sit on the sofa) they would ask 'have you had your dinner'and when you said 'yes'..... they would say, 'well, lean on it then'

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:confused: 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!

One two three allaira
I saw my sister Sarah
Sitting on a bumble-daira
Eating chocolate dainties

I always wondered what on earth is a bumble-daira? I would love to know if anyone can tell me!

- Be Strong, Brave, Tough like an Indian,
- Hold out ya hand (for a slappin'),
- Why are such a rotten kid,
- Get in your room and pull down ya pants (For 3 - 5 lashes with the belt),
- You'll eat it and you'll like it,
