That brought back memories Annie0710  ;D ;D

When I used to ask my Mum - what was for dinner - having got home from school on a Monday.

Answer 1 - Airballs & Bubbles (bit like your Mums  "air pie and windy pudding") meaning whatever is left over from the weekend - again meaning bugger all.  ;)

Answer 2 - S**t with Sugar On.

S**t with Sugar On always seemed to be the better option. It was usually spam fritters, tinned tomatoes & Fried Potatoes.... them were the days  ;D ;D

Sparkle - "strike a light" may come from an old goon show sketch - well they used it in it anyway.

My mum used to say "drive me up the hat rack" - when we used to drive her mad

I was confused: as a child I had an Uncle Bill but knew that his Mum didn't live in 'that' direction  :-\
