My best mate's dad, (RIP) used to say

"They want an umbrella shoving up their backside, opening, and pulling back down!

 

Granma used the expression, 'e ought to be stiff, we a gun up his jeer".

 

Never could fathom it, but understood the sentiment.

Mam always put a plaster on knees... Scrape my knees complete with gravel embedded under my skin by roller skating down hills on scowerden farm estate.. Happy days... Then the plaster would fall off and you could compare who had the worst injury... My jacko roller skates my most treasured possession...

I thought they named them after me and the jackie magazine

So innocent and naive.. Bless me... Learnt a lot since then .. Lol
