Things you said when you was a kid

[G G Jean]

I was always told "children should be seen but not heard". Have not heard that one geraklineregan53!!!.

Little pigs have big ears, heard it loads of times when Gran and Mom were having a private conversation,.

My Father in Law's was 'Little pigs have big ears' - meaning take care what you say in front of small children they take it in without letting on. Then may embarrass by repeating it later in company.

I was brung up in Sparkbrook and later went to school and also worked in Handsworth which being on the other side of the city could have been another planet. Sometimes people would ask where Sparkbrook was and I would say "Between Sparkhill and Balsall Heath, most had heared of Balsall Heath as it was a tough area and some people wouldn't go there after dark (I'm talking 1950's).
Not only would you hear things called different names ie. Bombsite v Bomdpeck you even had upper or lower class of talking, I was always being told by my parents not to talk like (fill in name of kids I played in the horse road or our street)
Mind you my parents were foreigners as Dad was from Buckinghamshire and Mom from Elmdon Heath
Dad had many witty sayings, one was in reply to someone claiming to have been brought up at Eton, "You look more like you was Eaten and brought up!!" Cheers Tim.

Juju's were fine but don't suck the Kaylii too fast or you'll cough for a fortnight and then look for your lungs for another week and Granny White's toffee apples would clamp your jaws together better than the glue made from horses hooves. Kind regards, David.
