foxydebs   35 #77 Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) A few I remember various members of my family saying when I was younger.  I'll go to foot of our stairs. when you asked my grandad where he was going he would often say there and back again to see how far it is. Council pop. Dark over bill's mother's (i remember asking my grandad whp bill's mother was) Fiddlesticks. S**t with sugar on. Larking about. eeh by gum. Don't come runnning to me when you have fallen over and broken your leg. Tint in tin. Hecky thump. You look like you have lost a bob and found a tanner. My grandad who lives in Barnsley always used to say he was going to take us to Poggy (Pogmoor) Sands, so when I was a young child I thought there was really a beach there and was upset to find there wasn't, it was just a daft thing of my grandads. Fur coat and no knickers Mutton dressed as lamb. Were you born in a field/wood. Dog shelf. Up the wooden hill or apples and pears. It says bisto on side of barnsley buses it doesn't mean they sell it (this was from my dad who was a bus driver for over 20 years. Plaiting fog. What are you doing? Im riding a bike(even though they weren't) My grandma still to this day says I don't know whether I'm on this earth or fullers. Which always makes me laugh as it reminds me of the cat litter fullers earth. Edited April 2, 2010 by foxydebs forgot some. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
thai   10 #78 Posted April 2, 2010 Truth or April Fool? You decide  It's also one of the main ingredients of the original clay face masks or 'mud packs' for gently removing facial impurities. We used to use it to dry shampoo the cat in lieu of being able to bathe her.  Wiki it if you don't believe me, but I speak only truth, Don't know if you can even get it these days.  I too remember this Ruby, think the only time i bought it,it was a cream and was told to use it for nappy rash on my daughter. she,s now 38.

Rollypolly   51 #81 Posted October 20, 2020 My grandad used to say ' and the Lord said onto Moses, all men shall have square noses'. Also - 'and the Lord said onto Moses, come forth. But Moses came fifth so he was disqualified'. Don't know which we laughed at most - the sayings or my nan spluttering with righteous indignation. 🤣 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

FIRETHORN1   58 #84 Posted October 20, 2020 Love alL these replies - and I've heard various permutations of many of them - like when we used to ask my dad "what's for tea" , he would say "a sniff of your mother's apron and a kick up t'arse"..... which I guess is much the same meal as "sh-t wi' sugar on" . 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
