On a similar note - tying a long string to each end of your handlebars so that you could ride your bike and steer like you were on a horse. Great fun, until you got to a point where you needed to pull the brake levers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also enjoy the phrase 'he is radio rental' which is partly lost on young uns too. Do people still call small change 'shrapnel?" Awa' and byle yer heid isn't used much either. I suddenly feel very old.. ‘Away and byle yer heed’ and ‘he’s no the full shilling’ (full pronounced like ‘Phil’) were two phrases my Mum said often. Also ‘away and take a run and jump’. When I was wee and asked what we were having for dinner my mum would always say ‘coo shit and onion’ I didn’t appreciate the patter at the time but I’m definitely going to say that to my children. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another one I remember from my gran was saying someone was being “as nice as ninepence”. As I had no conception of “ninepence” as a wean, I always thought she was saying “nice as nightins”. Ditto “up and doon like a peep in the gas” - it was gibberish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
