Cups and saucers,plates and dishes,
My old man wears calico breeches.

Yes ma'am, thank you ma'am,
wore to church on Sunday ma'am.


When the cat purred she was saying 'Peas halm,wheat straw,nine yards long.'

Can't go for a walk because I've got a bone in my leg.

Another two from my Mum.

If we asked what was for tea her answer was always one of the below, depending on her mood. The second one was if she had "a cob on".

1) "a run around the table".

2) "sh*t with the lid off" :-0 :-0.

She's lovely really. Love you Mum <3 <3

My dad had a name for things that went round and round and it wasn't until I was about twelve that I realized the thing on top of a helicopter wasn't called a wibbygizzer.
