old sayings

[a-l]

Like a tom tit on a round of beef.                                                                                         Like a tramp's overcoat, forever on.

You could say it actually, because as I bent over to switch the TV Channels before leaving the house, my Dad said "Sybil, are you going to allow your daughter to go out in that skimpy dress showing her knickers?"

Reminded me of my dad back in the early 70's.  Lots of steps up to the pavement from the front of his house and as I was leaving he called out 'I expected to see your knickers when you was a little girl, but not now you are grown up.'

I thought I was imagining things, YT.  I could have sworn this was moved to TOT and then here it is back again.

However.....  I am reminded of this little saying  which amused my father hugely:

Q:  How many beans make five?

A:  One bean, a bean, a bean-and-a-half, a half a bean and a bean.

[Maggie.]

Has anyone taught their grandmother to suck eggs recently?

I have never understood that saying, Maggie
