Old Terminology

..if you watch anymore TV, your eyes will go square and you'll grow little buttons down the side of your face..

 

Yep, the days of having to walk to the TV to change between the 4 channels available. Only we could choose from just 2, as Mum didn't like ITV or channel 4, so she superglued the buttons for those stations so they wouldn't move. Shame she didn't realise that we just re-tuned stations 8 and 9 to ITV and channel 4...

 

and what about not driving on Dartmoor after dusk, for fear of being got by the Hairy Hand ? Devon teenagers today have no respect for the Hairy Hand.

How does it work if you have a sandwich at 12 o clock and a roast dinner at 6 o clock then.

 

Have you had a sandwich for your dinner and a roast for your tea ? ............do yous ask the ol woman to send you off to work with a nice sausage sandwich for your packed dinner ?

Dinner is mid day unless it's Sunday...then you have a proper dinner at tea time.

I was talking to a woman the other day who's in her late 80s. She mentioned that her neighbours daughter was going out with a Darky and she also mentioned another chap who's one of those Gays that you hear about.

Years ago an Irish saying for pulling a bird was to "shift" her.

We all fell around the place one night when an English girl told us she was popping out to shift her car.

remember the first time I heard that Neil,bout 25 years ago mates Dublin cousin and her mate came up north to "knock" about with us, mate says few days later " yer woman's looking to shift me !" What's that mean says I ,fcuked if I know says him
