On food…
Bread and pullet..I assume pull it….and sh1t with sugar on….
And my tough dad used wade in with…. “knuckle sandwich”…

When I was very little my great-granny would tell me she was going to give me brimstone and treacle. I've no idea what it really was, home-made yellow stuff in a jam jar and it was lovely. My Granny used to threaten me with bread and dripping - I loved it. And she used to let me go in the pantry and cut myself a piece of her apple pie. Fond memories.
Never heard of this in my lifeQuote:
