Thread Name: Folklore: Old sayings from childhood
Subject: RE: BS: Old sayings from childhood
All about like a fart in a fan (Grandad's favorite)
If you sit on concrete you'll get kingcough (I think they meant piles....!)
About as much use as a chocolate fireguard
Scrub your nails, they're black-bright
You have the brains of a rocking-horse!
...and Mum's usual cry - "I want to tie a label on you saying 'this child was clean when she left home'..."
