Commachio, you won't believe this, but when I was nine, we moved into a new house. I just stared and stared at the ceiling - it had an electric light! Seriously, all the old houses were gas lit. You used to have to stand on a stool with a box of matches to light the room. None of these fancy switches. It's only within 60-70 years ago that electric light became common. And in rural areas, it was still oil lamps in the 1950s.
Where does a general keep his armies? Up his sleevies! That was my grandad's favourite joke and I remember him telling it and getting the giggles every time.
One of my mam's favourites when we were being naughty was "I'll swing for you". My grandma just used to threaten us with sending us to the Cottage Homes
When taken too much food of the table and couldn't eat it. My mother used to day Your eyes is bigger than your belly My mother in law also had a saying I'll kick you up the Arse til your nose bleeds
Been threatened with that a few times. Leaving the kitchen door open to let the stife out. Someone smartly dressed was `a right Bobby Dazzler`
My family has a version of that but meaning more like 'it could be worse', which was "better than a slap in the eye with a wet kipper". I still say it now but change it up a bit with nonsense like "better than a knock in the balls with a wet badger".
