My Gran had some real sayings,the tongue and teeth age thing was one.If someone was a bit 'slow',You can't put in what the lord forgot.Fur coat - no knickers.If anybody said they'd rather be dead/suicidal,the lord won't have given stuff.Thats for me to know and you to find out.An old lady customer in the post office said about skipping regular payments when you were skint or at holiday times etc,if you can't afford 1 you'll never pay 2!Smashing thread!!!!!!!!!!!

if brains were dynamite you wouldn't have enough to lift yer cap.ships - I see no ships,only HARDSHIPS.A guy I worked with from Morley area on shift change on the railway when asked if he'd had a busy shift,Busy! we have been working 5 looms.Face as long as a gasmans mac.If wit were $s*t he'd be constipated.A smartly dressed man,like summat out of Burtons window.Someone lying about ther age,not much difference between him and the town hall clock,or a liar - more faces that the town hall clockTo be a good liar you have to have a good memory.Money - made round to go round and flat to pile up.
