Subject: RE: BS: Did your mum say this to you.....
"There's a tide mark round your neck!" .... not washed my face and neck properly.

"You look like you've found a Tanner and lost a sixpence" .... Tanner and Sixpence are the same amount of money!

"Do you want a clout?" ...... not usually (clout = hit or slap)

"This is going to hurt me more than you" ....... liar!

"Your eyes are bigger than your belly" ..... Too much food on plate

"Put wood in th'ole" .....close the door

"Don't try to kid them as as kidded thousands" ..... We used this on our daughter (who apparently never understood it) 10 years later she phoned us up to tell us that she had started to use it on her daughter after hearing some of the excuses she used to use coming out of her daughters mouth! Finally realization struck home!
