'No its rabbits wool'.

do you want me to give you a good hiding? (answer - no!)

come over here while I give you a clip around the ear (sure to!)

eat your sprouts/liver/anything else horrible - there's starving children in Africa would be glad of them (thought - but didn't dare say - please give them to them then, cos I don't want them and they obviously do)

get off your father's chair

Mrs Karyonski over the road (thought we had Polish neighbours for years) - that was gran's name for everyone whose real name she'd forgotten; which was practically everyone.


Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today (which was never, ever anything pleasant)

ah ... a poke in the eye

that reminds me of a red face moment... I used to work at the local greyhound track and one night one of the regulars had a win of about 30.00 . so l says "better than a poke in the eye with a sharpe stick" It was one of those moments when the place goes quiet. Then l remembered the old chap only had one eye. He didnt mind still had his 30 quid
