Keep your hand on your ha'penny.

Lovely/awful weather for the time of year.

Raining cats and dogs.

The use of of/ov instead of have.

The social niceties:

"Do you want a brew?". "Only if you're having one".

"Would you like a biscuit/cake/sandwich/Venezuelan beaver cheese to go with it?. "No thanks". This can be repeated a further two times but must end in "Yes please, I'm famished".

"Don't look now!". How can you do otherwise!
