Subject: RE: Folklore: Origin:I'll go to the foot of our stairs
"I'll go to t'foot of our stairs" was common in our house in Radcliffe, Lancashire in t'fifties. As was the exclamation "blood an' stomach pills!" and the complaint about someone invading personal space a bit too much "Eee, 'e sticks ter me like shit to a blanket!" Then there was the euphemistic "E's as 'appy as pigs in Shudehill!"
