Dave.Brookes 5 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hello fond memories of me mam. She was from Ilson ( Ilkeston) and there was a couple of things that come to mind. 'ya munna goo neer im , is a bit funny' ( you must not go near him he is a bit funny, and she would say it in a half whisper) No I dunna ( no I do not know) shis a nice gel ( she's a a nice girl) you can take the gel out of Ilson but you cant take the Ilson out the gel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sheila 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 have just found this site and have heard many of these sayings, some of the things my mum used to say was, go to foot of our stairs, look what the winds blew in,put wood in hole,looks like his trousers have fell out with his shoes, yove got face like an 8 day clock, if she ever saw anyone with buck teeth she would say they were hanging their teeth out to dry, but the one i never understood and still dont is if u had a bad cold you need your chest rubbing with a blue brick! has any one eles heard this?

DAVIDW 1,681 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome Sheila ! Not heard the one about rubbing your chest with a blue brick but it sort of makes sense . Weren't blue bricks the water-proof layer of bricks at the base of a building ? So the joke was it would keep the damp off your chest ? Well its a theory . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sheila 0 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 could well be then, thanx for that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Welcome to Nottstalgia, sheila. I look forward to reading your posts. I had a laugh about 'hanging their teeth out to dry' (#820) as I've not heard that one before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beachbum 68 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 My dad would often say this if he were asked where he was going, and I've not heard it for a while but did anyone actually "go to see a man about a dog"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,457 Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 There can't have been that many dogs to go and see about. My dad always used the expression when he didn't want to admit (to myself and my sister) where he was going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
