''what is THAT on your face''

i remember asking my dad 'were did i come from' he said ' we found you under a cabbage leaf at the bottom of the garden' also when the Beatles started he would say, ' they don't sing they shout' and ' they need a haircut' and he would say [this is in the 60s don't forget ] ' the only way to tell a man from a woman these days is to rub there chin' my nan gave me the end of her lipstick once, 'bright red' and i put it on when dad saw me he said: 'what have you got on? you look like a jam butty' i asked if i could have my ears pierced once,he said,'no you already look like a gypsy' chris

with Daddy it was looks and gestures as his speech wasn't that great!! He couldn't whistle so he'd make a weird popping sound with his tongue and have his thumb up - which meant BED NOW!! Always went too!! :O) I love you Daddy!! xx

At Christmas my dad would always say, You kids don't know you're born, We were lucky to get an orange and some nuts in our stockings. Every year!!

When I asked my dad where mum was he would reply 'Ran away with the coalman.' Funny thing was that weve never had a coal fire. Also 'This'll hurt me more than you.' Yeah right. Spud

'Where are you going Dad'? 'Back Barrow treacle mines where they run around on red hot girders with bacon fat slippers'. My children always thought that 'Back Barrow' was a mythical place until the day we arrived there and I pointed to what looked like a mine entrance. The look of amazement I can still see to this day, thirty years later. Brian (i)
