'What were they on about?' What Grandparents from Sheffield used to say.

Hotaches? Only when it's cold enough!

 

I'm sure that they still get "growing pains" and "Stitch" too

According to our Dr kids do still get growing pains, had to take my son to see him because of aches and pains, I think its just a excuse to not get up in the morning lol

When we were kids and used to ask mum " whats for tea?" she always said " ifits" , if its in the cupboard you can have it, if its not you cant, and another of her favorites was , when it was raining and we didnt want to out and get wet she would say " well skip between the raindrops and you will stay dry" I say these to my kids and it drives them nuts lol:hihi:

one of my faves is "well it needs a good fettlin", anyone older than me (51) who knows what this means, i would be really grateful

Fettlers worked in the steel industry. When a metal casting came out of a mould it would have various rough edges or imperfections so would go to the fettling shop to be cleaned up before further machining. so to give something or someone a good fettlin was to clean them up a bit.
