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'
I'm such a child!
