If you ever asked my granny where something was she’d say ‘up in Annie’s room, behind clock’. We were always too scared ask who is Annie and where is her room.

Another favourite was if you asked where she’d been she’d say ‘There and back to see how far it is’

Strange old lady - must be where I get it from

The threat is intended to stop them crying. It's the threat of punishment. Never works though

You make a better door than a window - if you stand in someone’s way and block their sight usually of the tv.

Put wood in t’hole - meaning shut the door.

It’s like Blackpool illuminations in here - if you dared to turn the top light on when one of the small lamps was also on!

If I asked my mum if she was ok she'd say ” I've got a bone in my leg"

If I asked what was for dinner it would be " bread and pull it" or "six jumps at the larder door"

It took me years to work out that "what died long ago, manners took its place" wasn't a question.

If I stated the blindingly obvious she would just look at me and say "queen Anne's dead"

My mum says she can’t do anything because she’s got a bone in her leg and the others made of chocolate. And the bit of bread and pull it one. Either that or SOS meaning stretch or starve. That was on Fridays when she got snacky sort of stuff in for tea and we had to help ourselves as she was out at work and didn’t have time to cook.

Whenever she leaves a bit of pasta say, I'd comment with "There's kids who would happily walk 20 miles in burning heat and say prayers of thanks for 2 hours for THAT..."

Oh we used to say has your cat died? I wondered if it was because your trousers are at half mast like a flag is when someone important dies?

You make a better door than a window, if we stood in front of the tv. It’s like Blackpool illuminations here if we didn’t turn the lights off. Don’t come running to me if you break your legs, if we did anything dangerous. X

And that is exactly where it came from; "trousers worn at half-mast?" But it was always "budgies" in Teesside where I grew up...

When as a child and playing up, Mum would often say.."do you want a Slap?"

As if I'd say, "Ooh, Yes please!"

Or, when asking "what's for dinner?" to get a response of "you'll get what you're given!"

Eh? Why not just say what it was?

"Don't make me come over there and slap you .."

"Do you want to feel the back of my hand.."

"Wait till your Father gets home.."

"Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about.."

Grandad used to say he was "just going down the yard" (outside toilet)

"She ??" , "She is the cats mother"

"Don't call me Nanny, I'm not a goat" (Gma)

"Where are you going ?".. "There and back to see how far it is... if it's too far I won't go"

"He's as bright as sunshine on a dark night"

"If brains were gunpowder, he couldn't blow his nose"

"Don't stand there like one of Lewis'.."

Think it was a reference to the mannequins in Lewis' store

"You're not going out with me dressed like that"

Fond memories...
