O/T Two knocks or two jumps?

[millertop]

My mums popular sayings were….

“I’ll stand drop of York”…never got that at all

“I”ll go to foot of our stairs”…I guess that was to avoid swearing

“Gone there and back to see how far it is”….that used annoy hell out of me..until I started to follow millers..��..

And if she was eating sweets and I used to ask what she was eating she would say “shim shams”….I spent ages looking in gt news for something that didn’t exsist…..

On food…

Bread and pullet..I assume pull it….and sh1t with sugar on….

And my tough dad used wade in with…. “knuckle sandwich”…

Not heard first one but rest yes, I’ve used **** with sugar (a while ago now like) on

Born in a stable, I’m sure we all heard that one

Bun in the oven

Bunch of fives

I’ll give you what for

I'm in the camp of never having heard (or if I have I've forgotten) about the knocks/jumps at the pantry door.

"Bread and catchit" was always the answer to 'What's for tea?" in our house.
"The same age as my tongue, and a bit older than my teeth" was the answer to "How old are you?"
"To see a man about a dog" was the answer to "Where have you been?" and "There and back to see how far it is" was the answer to "Where are you going?"

...and people wonder why we all grew up to be so pedantic?

And where " Up The Clough" is nail 1 and 2 never mind the third nail ?
