Subject: RE: Folklore: Old sayings from childhood
Another from dad (after I came home blubbering, having been hit by a much smaller...just smaler, not younger...boy):

"Get thissen back dahn t' road an' bray 'im proper. Yon's nobbut t' size a' two pennorth a' copper"

(The rhyme was unintentional). I did as requested which ended up with the other lad's mother in our house shouting: "tha'll a' ter cum an' get thy Robert off'n ahr Phillip, 'e's just abaht killin' 'im".
