Two my Yorkshire grandmother used a lot were:
"Well, I'll go to the foot of our stairs" when told anything surprising.
"Doesn't know if they're Arthur or Martha" for someone in a muddle or confused.

Both these sayings are used in my area too, north-east Scotland, but in dialect "I'll ging tae the fit aa' ma stairs".

Some others are :
"He's nae the full shillin" for someone who was a bit 'glaikit';

"If that's what you think, ye've got another think(thing) coming";

 "She had a face like a chewed chip" describing someone rather unattractive.
