Things Your Mam used to say to You

[puntilla]

“NOW I’M NOT FUNNIN”

And “Wrap up warm or Jack Frost u’ll get ya.”

 

[David Brent]

"I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking"
"I didn't come down the Clyde in a banana boat"
"There's kids in this street would give their right arm for what you've got"
"I'm not having my son bought and sold like cattle"
"Diddle and I'll bloody dance for you"

 

[Crook Mackem]

If yer brains were shit, you wouldn't have enough to make a smell

Threatened with the "Naughty Boy's Home", one time she got me good, packed some clothes, a van came up the street at the right time. Never quite recovered.

Look back and feel sorry for her. She's at rest now though.

Shes still alive, I just moved out.

You make a better door than a window....when I stood in front of the television.

 

[Snugster]

"Don't trust anybody, even your own bum will let you down sometimes."

Who cut your hair, the council?

 

[Boinger]

"Ran away with a black man" was the oft used intended riposte to a question of where someone was. Mainly other mams auto response to any kid asking the question "where's me mam?"

Standard response from most moms in the late 60s/70s.. Also, and bear in mind the times folks, the reply to "It's not fair" was often "A black mans arse never was"

 

[look out piano]

Nothing that I can remember, she died when I was 4 1/2.
