near the sounds of the wimborne quarter jack!

The cat had just come in from outside this morning and sat on the hearth about six inches away from the log burner! I commented to my Mum "Look at her in the one-and-nines!"

For those not old enough, this refers to when the cheapest seats at the cinema were right at the front and cost one shilling and ninepence or 8 pence in current money!

Old expression from the Black Country mainly Wolverhampton. Ain't heard it since I was at school but someone said it the other day and it really took me back, the saying is "going round the Wrekin" when somebody's explaining something and not getting to the point people usually say "get to the point and stop going round the Wrekin" Wrekins a big hill in Telford by the way.

There's a couple of things that my Granda still says which could be classed as old fashioned. The first one is that he calls the 'kitchen' the 'scullery', which may be more of a regional thing. Having just looked it up I'm more confused than ever about it.

But the other term he uses and that I still love to hear is when he calls the 'radio' the 'wireless'. Although the term 'wireless' is now very modern and ironically relevant to just about every piece of technology there is, but it still sounds old fashioned when my Granda says it and that's alright with me.

The sixpenny guided - despite being a post decimalisation child!

Calling someone who wears (usually) charity shop purchases second hand rose - it was a song.

Softly softly catchy monkey!.

No idea what it meant and there was definitely no monkeys in Manchester in the 70s, and even if there was, why would I want to catch one .

But my all time favourite was

Monkey see monkey do!. Which I think alluded to small children and bad habits, but it might just have been my mum who was obsessed with monkeys
