As I was eating my salad this evening I was reminded of one of mum's best:
"Don't eat the stem (stalk..?) Part of the tomato, that is where the tomato is shitting from "...

    If you fold the washing up when you put it in the tumble dryer, it comes out with no creases.

    Eating carrots will help you see in the dark (general health advice)
    What did your last slave die of? (when being lazy)
    Just you wait and see (mild overused threat)
    You'll take someone's eye with that (whenever showing signs of boisterousness with anything in the hand)
    If I told you to put your head in an oven, would you do it? (if a friend suggested something stupid)
    You weren't born in a barn (when you leave a door open)

    My mum: if you play sport you’ll be fit for life.

    i did. Knees, shoulders, hands and one foot all knackered and can hardly move.

    Bit worrying if you have to put the light on
    while driving, are you trying to see the pedals  ;)

    Stop moaning!  The Priest does that to all of the children, it's part of being a catholic.

    If there’s enough blue sky to make a pair of sailors trousers it’s safe to put your washing out.
    Been badly caught out with that several times over the years.🤨🤨🤨

    I've got a mate with a very noticeable lazy eye. He loves saying that he defied his mum just as the wind changed.
