they bring back memories.
"and if you don't eat your dinner, it'll still be there in the morning...and the day after, until you eat it all up."

eh? you're going to leave a plate of hash on the table for a week, are you?!

And Finally,.......My old mum could use a single word, just one syllable to encapsulate a wide range of ideas

She would be out in the garden, pointing a bony finger at the door. A tight-lipped "IN" would mean all or any of the following..

1. You are going to get such a smack
2. It's bed/bath/tea/Jackanory time
3. why did you do that ?
4. I've found out..

Anyone else remember this ..can you add to the list of possibles??

good lord, that brought back some memories.

the only snippet I remember is:

there are starving children in Africa that would love your leftovers...

quite why they'd want the courgettes, swede and fatty bits of meat I was trying to leave behind I don't know!
