I was brought up with those immortal words of wisdom.................... Go ask your mother!

And I was brought up on old war stories and platitudes like....... 'One day you'll need a wheelbarrow full of money, just to buy a loaf of bread!!' lol. Lin

Ginny, Why are you wearing a cloaking device? Liz

Ginny hun - you have too many fullstops in your heading lolol

'You dont know your born', is what my dad used to say to us five. Today wouldv'e been his 81st Birthday.

I was brought up on......'When I was a lad'....my dads words bless him x

My Dad always says 'When I was young... when everything was made out of wood....'

I was the only one in my family that never needed glasses and my dad used to say to me, Opticians and undertakers get use all eventually lad, At the age of 47 i had to have my first pair of glasses Just not sure when the undertakers going to turn up? Roy

'If you don't behave I will put you in the Workhouse' I was at least 10 before I realised there were no Workhouses!

My dad used to say 'do not panic, flight mechanic' at times of crisis and sing 'unzip a banana' for no apparent reason just when he felt like it. I think that might have been from an old advert for bananas but I'm not sure. Angela

My Gran's sayings...Children should be seen and not heard. Walls have ears. I looked everywhere on the walls and never found them! If I asked where my mum was Grans reply was... gone ashore to buy a loaf. If I asked where are you going the reply was There and back to see how far. No wonder I grew up confused. Beryl x

The only thing I can remember my dad telling me was. Dont get mad Get even.

My Dad didn't say a lot but one thing I do remember was. 'don't worry something always turns up ' and you know he was right. Oh and 'I'll see' that meant yes. Germaine x

Angela.............the banana saying, if memory serves me right, I think came from an advert on T.V. The lyric for the ad was 'Unzip a banana' lol. Lin

When pulling faces i was always told, if the wind changes you stay that way! And when i asked where's Mum gone to join the circus! Or do you think i came up the Clyde on a bike! Ann

mydad was fond of saying, 'when I was in the army' and the one that drove me mad was,' yes, well you're a girl'.
