On the back of Scafs "my dad had one of those"
What saying has stuck in your mind that your dad always used to say?

Dad whats that? Its a wigwam for a ducks bridle.
Dad any tips? Don't tie your shoelaces in a revolving door.

When ever we made a mistake it was always a pain to his head "Up here for thinking" and then down to his feet "and down there for dancing" - it still makes no sense to me and when i tried it on my children this weekend the look I got back was familiar

Can’t say q u e e r nowadays. Doesn’t even mean gay in this context, and don’t think it does in the modern context either.

As a child, my mum didn't want me to know that my dad liked a drink.

So when he went out after tea, I'd say, 'Where you going?'

He'd always reply "To see a man about a dog".

Measure with a ruler, mark with chalk, cut with an axe. That’s written in big letters on the wall at the Maserati factory.
