My mother-in-law, who was born in 1914 in Coventry England, would say
"Oh well, said Nell, waving her wooden leg" whenever things didn't turn out as she planned. *****

Hi I am from coventry too and my family have said "oh well, said nell" for years. I know this isnt what this thread is about but i really want to find out where this saying comes from and who the bloody hell was nell.
