Oh thanks for all these memories. :) I'd forgotten loads of these until reading them here. My Dad often went to see a man about a dog. There was another one we remembered this afternoon but I've gone and forgotten it again now.

My Dad on the other hand was often "blowed" or in danger of being blowed. As in "Well I'll be blowed!" when discovering something unexpected, and "I'm blowed if I'm going to tell you again young lady!" when I wasn't taking any notice of him............... strong winds around Accy or what?
 
Who is Tom Pepper? We were often told, "Don't take any notice o' yon mon he's a bigger liar than Tom Pepper. You'll end up in Dickies meadow if you take any notice o' what he tells you."

If there wasn't a seat left for me when I was a child and all the seats had been taken by adults I was told to sit on my thumb. This must be a nationwide one because Busman used to be told the same thing.
 
If we were talking at the dinner table my Grandad would tell us "Let thi Meat stop thi mouth."

Oh Willow, l've never heard that before it had me in stitches; l think l'd need stitches if l'd have been made to stand up on that bus!
I did have to stand up, but only because they were 'grown ups.' Perhaps when l 've grown up someone will do the same for me. :)
