Sayings Your Mam/ Dad Would Say

[Bobbisox1]

What’s for tea?

Take a walk round the table and see ( not the rude one ) haha

[Verbix]

(On a chilly spring or summer's day:) Not a bit like winter, is it?
(On visit to local cake shop:) A tuppeny tustard tut in two, tut in two again for a ha'penny.

One of my mum's, looking out of the window " It won't rain, there's enough sky to make a dutchman a pair of trousers"

[choux]

Mother:
Come again when you can't stay so long.
What you know and tuppence wouldn't get your hair cut.
Father:
Little bits of powder, little bits of paint make your pretty face
just what it aint.

My mom used to say that about the Dutchman, but she always said '....there is enough blue in the sky....'

One day when my stepfather (an artist) was out painting, a lad came along and stood right in front of him to watch. My stepfather said,"Let the dog see the rabbit" whereupon the lad turned round and said,"Where?".

Mother said. Don’t throw stones in a glasshouse and don’t sit on a radiator else you will get piles

Stop your blarting or I'll give you summat to blart about.
Those that ask, don't get ...
..but she also said - if you don't ask, you don't get.
Eat your dinner, those poor Biafran children would be glad of it.
Pack that in or I'll knock you in to the back of last week
Look at the state of her - she'll all posh curtains and an empty pantry
You'll have me in an early grave / you'll be the death of me
With her back to me - I know what you're up to, pack it in
Night night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite
Up the wooden hill to Bedfordshire
Get up, you lazy lump.

If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all.

and

If you want a job done properly, do it yourself

there are 3 kinds of people, those who watch things happen, those who make things happen and those that say what happened?
