My kids still laugh that my mam called it mineral.Not so much a saying but speaking to a young lad in work and he said my nan calls fizzy drinks “mineral”….i said yeah when I was a kid we had a “mineral man” who’d deliver your fizzy drinks and you’d give the empty bottles back for 20p…he looked at me like I was the oldest person he’d ever met…I’m 40 :-(
The "y" one is bit close to the bone nowadaysMy mum had a few sayings growing up that she wouldnt say now
If you asked her "why?" She would say "y is a crooked letter".
If you asked "what's for dinner?" She would say "sh*t with sugar on"
If you said "that's not fair" she would say "neither is a black man's willy"
My mum is super edgyThe "y" one is bit close to the bone nowadays

Their pineapple was delicious too.American cream soda from the Alpine man, happy days.
Ooohhh never had that one, dandelion and burdock or cream soda were the two for me. Could never get me head round dandelion and hadnt a clue what a burdock was. None of the adults seemed to know either.Their pineapple was delicious too.
He's got more luck than a cow's got ****Someone who was lucky ‘had more jam than Hartley’s’.
Very rarely allowed coke off the pop man. My dad viewed it with suspicion for some reason? Could have anything else, loved the cream soda and still buy dandelion and burdock now. Also loved limeade, rasberryade and cherryade. There was a Corona van but we had the cheap unbranded van. :-)My kids still laugh that my mam called it mineral.
Remember the van coming every week and looking forward to cream Soda which was considered exotic back then!
Hahaha, our family still call it mineral:)Not so much a saying but speaking to a young lad in work and he said my nan calls fizzy drinks “mineral”….i said yeah when I was a kid we had a “mineral man” who’d deliver your fizzy drinks and you’d give the empty bottles back for 20p…he looked at me like I was the oldest person he’d ever met…I’m 40 :-(
It was always the Outdoor.Let's go to "The Outdoor" for some beers
He's mustard that lad
He's daft as a brush
"Where we going dad"? 'There and back to see how far it is"
Off to the park for a sit down on "a form"
The rains coming down like stair rods
She's got a face like: A wet weekend, a joiners thumb, a bastard on father's day,
He's as thick as a brick, a short end, a vicars foreskin
I could not remember whether it was called Corona or not as I thought I was getting mixed up with that beer with the lemon in it.cherryade was my favouriteVery rarely allowed coke off the pop man.
