Things that people say locally

Funny thing, s people say here! do you know any?--- I was in the butchers and heard the butcher say when a customer asked for meat on the bone!
" Meat without a bone
is like a cherry without a stone" it made me laugh and wondering if anyone else had heard this or something similar?

My dad used to get us in at night by threatening to give us a hooker,a slap round the ear,and when we got the hooker we were told to get up the dancers,the stairs.Oh for the good old days

Get that one there? The difference's between amuses us as we are from North and South.

Thats sad news Kiki! but I bet you gave him a happy life while you had him (or should that be while he had you!)

Awww, sorry to hear that Poppy. The fact that he lived that long meant he was very well looked after, so he must have had a very happy life. Our 12 year old had her check up yesterday. Fit as a fiddle and still jumping 6 foot walls.

My first dog was 17 when she died, and my last dog was 12 when she died a few months ago. I still miss them both..

Thanks for the sympathy folks! Im still missing him each day but realized that he was not enjoying the life he had and was so pathetic looking!(thats my old cat) Poor thing he looked like a feather or a tiger skin rug ( not sure which really?)
