You choose your friends but you are stuck with your family. A saying from my dear Dad. Still true to this day!

Good post, nice and lighthearted.................

Here's a couple that might confuse anybody who did not grow up in the UK.

A sandwich short of a picnic

Costs a bomb

Full Monty

and what my Mum used to say to me :

'Give me a tinkle on the blower'

So and so down the road has 'Popped his clogs'
:D

I'm such a child!
