Similar to GlasgowLass .... my Dad used to say "do you think I came up the river on a bike".

Mum "stand still while I hit you" ..... as if ;-)

Lol @ AnnC,

I don't eat most of my crusts, but still have curly hair.

Hated the curls...perhaps that why I didn't eat the the crusts.I don't know !

Dau's hair is very wavy, she hates it and straightens it and she never eats any of the crusts she has toast for breakfast .
I use then as croûtons in my morning soup ;-)

if bored and asking for something to do dad used to say go to pier head and see if its raining
if saying we were hungry mom used to say
go upstairs and eat the monkey (whatever that meant)

When we asked Whats for dinner??

My Nan would reply "If it."

Everytime we asked what it meant she would reply If it goes round the table you will get abit..........

We always fell for that one!! :-S :-P

'You'll turn the milk sour with a face like that'.

I always fell for the "eat your crusts or you won't get curly hair" thing was I had very curly hair - still have :-D

put your face straight or you will stop the town hall clock.

"Do you think that I came up the Clyde on a banana boat"
Was one of my Irish mum's sayings, just to let us know she couldn't be fooled.

We used to laugh at her behind her back because she certainly did come up the Clyde on a boat.. except that she arrived on the old Derry Boat !

As teens looking for boyfriends Mum would say "Whats for you won't go by you" I say it now to my family and if you asked her where something was it was "Saw a little doggie eating something" (so annoying) ....Oh! and if you were late for something she would say "Aye like the coos tail aye behind"

Eat up those crusts and they'll make your hair curl !

If you fall off that wall don't come running to me if you break your legs

If mum was surprised by something she used to say

Well, I'll go to the bottom of our stairs

:-S :-S

"Going to see a man about a dog" :-S

Maggie, love 'That party' :-D :-D

Wait 'til your father gets home!

My Mum's was " I'm not as green as I'm cabbage looking"
(Her way of saying that she wasn't daft)

My Mums was "I have eyes in the back of my head" My Sister and I thought this was true because nothing escaped her :-D

My gran used to say
'He/she's no better than he/she ought to be'

Also 'Red shoes, no knickers', and if she was talking about someone she didn't like (usually a woman) she'd refer to said woman as
'That Party'.

If you asked mum how old she was she would say I,m a little bit older in my head than I am in my teeth.

Always puzzled me cos her teeth spent most of their life in a cup on the kitchen window ledge ;-)

I used to say 'where are you going to my Mum and she always replied 'there and back to see how far it is'.

Its not a fit night out for man nor beast

one of my dads sayings
