I still use a lot of my parents and grandparents sayings,
One of my Dads was, "He is halfway up Berrynewroad" when someone was a bit odd, I had no idea what it meant but knew exactly what it meant at the same time?
Turns out when my Dad was a kid there was a mental hospital at the top of Bury New Road so someone half way there was nearly in the Mental Hospital,
One of Mums was if I came home and asked what was for Tea she would say "Three jumps at the cupboard door" if there was nothing to eat in the house,
Grandads favorite saying if asked to do something was "I will give it a good coat of looking over" meaning the job probably wouldnt get done,
I now live in Shropshire & get a lot of weird looks when I use some of the old sayings, doesnt stop me though :-)
