A favourite aunt of mine used to always end her letters to my dad (her brother) 'yours till whelks wear wooly waistcoats', and probably because its so unusual, I've never been able to forget the phrase.

When my dad died in 1964, she elected herself to take the news to their younger sister, and came back to report that she had been kept on the doorstep with a terse, 'I know, but I won't be at the funeral'.  Her response to tha, when she told us afterwards was 'All you ever get from a pig is a grunt'.

I have been for a walk in Darlington's South Park    (which has recently been "reVictorianised"  )  today   with my friend and her dogs. After walking right round the park, we decided to have coffee and share a scone in the tea rooms.    The scone was so freshly made that it fell to pieces when I tried to butter it.  My friend said she would have the broken half  as all the calories had all fallen out!!!!

That’s about as useful as a trap door on a canoe!

If you don’t stop I’ll knock you in the head and tell God you died.

If someone asks my age (especially a man) I answer As Old as my tongue and a little but older than my teeth.
