As a result of the mistaken assumption that you "thought " something was ok,but clearly wasn't in my grandmas eyes we'd get told "aye and you know what thought did don't you?"I say it to my kids now although I've no idea what the answer is. Maybe arry'll enlighten me!

One of my teachers used to say to the class 'you know what thought did...' and thought we were taking the mick when we all said no!Apparantly thought "followed a muck cart and thought it was a wedding" ...... whatever that means!

Yer mucky Lot! lol!Had a good laff at both your comments!I think 'Plus fours' were used to the same effectduring a long spell on the Golf Course!Those trousers had a crude descriptive also,a long while back. We used to call them 'S--t Stoppers!' You don't see Plus fours very often these days,due to all the Dry Cleaners protesting, no doubt!
