When I was younger, yeah, these many years ago, whenever I looked a mess (not infrequently) my mother would tell me that:

A. I looked like the Wreck of the Hesperus or
B. I looked like the Wild Woman from Borneo or
C. I looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards.......

What did your mum used to say to you, and who was the Wild Woman from Borneo anyway.....???? Can anyone help??????
