In our house we don't use the "in and out" bit, but if someone is being particularly inept, or useless, then they are described as a f*rt in a colander.

 

and just thought of "chavvelled" meaning chewed up

 

We said it as "chommelled" or "chammelled" in our family.

The other one we heard, frequently, was "it's like Pee-ing in bed, awakken"

[grinder 10]

That as much use as a Chocolate tea pot (fire guard) in our house...

Great one, I think it is really sad when people try to change there accent as so many do. Be who you are, not how people would like you to be. People are loved more for being themselves.

I remember a phrase used at home. 'It was all mi eye and Fanny Martin', which was to say something wasn't right.

 

Does anyone know who Fanny Martin was?
