poshnarg 2 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 If it was dark and cloudy Mum would say "It's gerrin black ova Bill's Motha's" If it was time for bed she would say "Come on girl, up those stairs to Bedfordshire" If it was fine drizzle, she would say "It's that rain that wets ya" Of course there was the one for daughters from Mums "Ner cast a clout, till May is out" - meaning that flippin Liberty Bodice with its rubber buttons remained in situ until the end of May!

Sheilastain 7 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 As I grew up quite often the word "yo" would be used instead of you to which my mum would always say " yo's in the field kicking up his heals" I have no idea what it meant. Another phrase if I started a reply with " I thought...." she would say " You know what thought did, followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding." Ah memories!!!
