    Default What your mother use to say.

    It one of those Sundays that you spend reminising over your forgotton childhood and things your mother use to say.
    "you born in a park?
    "you look like granny Mutch"
    Shut your mouth and eat your food"
    "tummble your wilkies"
    There's loads.....
    What do you remember your mammy saying?
    I dont use any of these expressions anymore,wonder how many more will be lost.
    Never judge someone until you have walked two moons in their moccasins.

    Use your loaf!

    Where's your gumption?

    Faintheart never won fair lady!

    At the time, I had neither the 'loaf' nor the 'gumption' to point out that I was not interested in 'fair ladies'.
