Subject: RE: Folk phrase survivals?
A friend of my mother's (born turn of the 19C), on seeing an Ambulance driver she knew from way back said:

"He was the one who put the pig on the wall to watch the band march past"

Years later I danced wit Gorton Morrismen at the opening of 'The Pig on the wall' pub in East Manchester.
