Things your Dad used to say

when i used to get things wrong with my homework my dad used to say "your to dull to be an idiot"

MKy dad used to say, When they took the rib from Adam to make women they should have made soup with it instead.:biglaugh:

if i cheeked my mother my dad used to say "do that again and i'll hit you with so many lefts you'll beg for a right"

how about this one "come home dead an i,ll kill ya "

"I know what I'm talking about, I was a boy and his age once"

"Buy me a pint and I won't tell your Mam you're in the pub at 16"

Well there is the old favourites, you don’t know your born? Theses days!

And my dad was 40 something and could not tell the time! As every time I came in late he would ask me " What Time you call this then?

if i tried to pull the wool over his eyes i'd get "do you think i'm an idiot"...wish i'd had the balls to say yes but no slr's were available at the time.

Came out of The Regiment 1969.Joined local police.Therefore able to spend more boozing time with dad.
First time took him to his local in Leeds,terrible area.Playing dominoes,his mates walked in,really proud he was,and at top of his voice said,"This is my lad he's a police man in the vice squad,talk about sh;;;;;; myself. Good old dad.Rest in peace..:skeptical:

Around where I was brought up (Pontrobert near Welshpool) Spanners = Sponners. Comb = Coomb, took a bit of stick when I joined up.
I had'nt heard these being used for years but last year I was in Llangollen on a job & the customer said he was going for a sponner & it turned out he used to live in Meifod the neighbouring village of Pont.
My Mum never arrives she "lands" and has never arrived but "landed" this could just be her Welshness coming out ??

My mother's side of the family are from the Welshpool/Newtown area.

They call a gate a 'wicket'

Also 'mustn't' = 'Munner' - 'Don't' = 'Dunner' etc - famous saying from that part of the world ...... "You munner say 'dunner' it inner perlite!"

In this part of the world (Sussex) a footpath is a 'Twitten'
