danny333 7 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Our family had a few " Stock Phrases " such as " Doing a 412 ". if someone was showing off etc ., this comes from an old Stan Freberg 78 " St George And The Dragon " which is a take off of a popular Cop Show " Dragnet". Where the cops have Numbered Codes for different Crimes etc. A 412 was " Overacting " http://www.youtube.c...h?v=VBcASC9VqzY Quote Link to post Share on other sites
danny333 7 Posted July 18, 2011 Report Share Posted July 18, 2011 Just remembered a classic one from my uncle Dick from Derbyshire , he would say, looking at an object " Does tha know if tha ad the tools , tha cud mek one o` these " . He was a bit of a scrimper and I remember him working on his ancient Austin using a Rolling Pin and emery paper Reboring the Cylinders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"Round The Horne" absolutely brilliant radio, way ahead of its time. Who can forget Rambling Syd Rumpo and J. Peasmold Gruntfuttock and Douglas Smith the announcer. Charles and Fiona "I know you know I know" Dr. Chou en Ginsberg MA (Failed) Oh hello, I'm Julian and this is my friend Sandy with their Poari slang and companies called "Bona" Its predecessor Beyond our Ken was brilliant too along with I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" I still listen to them on digital radio and they are just as funny as they were when originally broadcast. Classic British radio 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
