Another one I can remember is the saying " He came down on him like a ton of bricks".

IE. being very strict.

 

Don't know if this is just Sheffield..?

How about 'blartin' or 'blahtin', like you'd say to someone who was being a bit noisy, 'Shut thi' blartin'. The term used today is 'Gobbin' off''.

I think people are mixing up words and phrases that are distinctly old Sheffield or Yorkshire(isms) with common phraseology that is used in most English speaking countries. If one wants to read back on this 'thread' there are quite a few sayings that have been mentioned, that are not necessary original and are sometimes used by everybody, although maybe in a slightly different way taking into account local dialect and customs.
