Kit! Â Â 10 #1 Posted January 28, 2011 My granny and grandad, looking at the darkened sky which basically looked like it was going to chuck it down, used to say 'By gum!, it's black over Bill's Mothers'....who was Bill & who was his mother???? Also I had the 'STOP teeming & ladleing' when I should've been washing the pots & not playing at pouring out tea.... I have friends that have never heard of this one!

Norton1 Â Â 10 #2 Posted January 28, 2011 I have a 2 year old who according to my mother in law (Sheffield born and bred) can not stop teeming and ladleing as he likes to take everything to bits / out of boxes etc and then put it all back. Never heard of the expression before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
