who’s heard the expression “hand your band in.”?



meaning ‘you’re done’.. ‘it’s over’ or ‘go home’ or ‘give over’ etc..
great saying like but just Googled it and Google knows nowt of it.
Is it a saying specific to Sunderland like? After the old ritual of handing your band in at the desk at Crowtree Leisure Centre swimming pool when your colour light flashed up after your hour?
It wasn't just Crowtree. Most swimming pools had a coloured-band system for their sessions.
