My father was born in Scotland, grew up in England and later moved to South Africa.   He always used to say "too late she cried in accent wild as she waved her wooden leg aloft". He also said "no answer, was the civil reply" when someone ignored or avoided his question. Also "I see said the blind man to the deaf man who couldn't hear" when a comment was pointless, and, one that hasn't come up here so far "eee, it was agony Ivy". Wish I had asked him more about them.
