I've just sent a message to someone, " I believe you, thousands wouldn't" and it made me giggle because my dad used to always say that to me when I was a wee bairn.
Made me think of loads of other things he'd say like "bloody hell this house is like Blackpool illuminations" when me and my siblings left every possible light on in the house.
Any sayings you remember?  |

Born in a barn? (Left a door open)
Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about (upset over something, but apparently not allowed to be)
If ifs and buts were apples and nuts, wouldn't we all be greedy guts |

"There are kids it there starving, now eat your dinner.
I got a clip round the ear when I finally said, tell me where and I will post it to them"
I used to say the same and receive the same!  |

I used to get 'I brought you into the world and I will be the one to take you out of it' 
Despite my boys being grown men and a good 6" taller than me I still say it to them |

"When asking what's for dinner - sugar and shite... Got a bit older and more confident I once told the old dear her cooking actually tasted shite  "
Oh we got shit with sugar on too
That was when we weren’t having to run round the table till we were fed up |

Eat your crusts, it makes your hair curly.
Eat your carrots, it will make you see in the dark better.
Don’t make that face because if the wind changes it will stay like it.
What’s for tea? Shit and sugar lol

When asking my mum to do something for me I tended to get the reply "what did your last servant die of?"
Apparently "asking too many questions" gets you sent to your room with no dinner and no pocket money for a month. |

"My mother used to tell me that if I didn’t go to bed ‘Myra will get you’. 
She totally failed as I didn’t know who Myra Hindley was. "
My dad used to tell me my mum was a witch and it night she used to get her broom out and fly around the house. He now tells my daughter the same story that nans a witch lol
My parents are still happily married so there is no actual slagging my mum off via my dad |

Ive had many of these comments and did throw some of them back as I got older.
As I got older I did get told I hope you have a child like you
well I got that but when I was telling her off I had to chuckle to myself.
I daredent tell her I was worse than she was until she was older  |

Cooking on gas (progressing well with something) - I still say this!
In response to what's for dinner? Bread and Iffit (if you can find it, you can have it)
Time to go up the wooden hill (upstairs to bed)

My father used to say "Nothing's fair in this life".
He was right, as I soon found out.
My partner used to say "You can't say fairer than that", until she got fed up with me replying "Yes I can. 'Fairer than that'". |

“You’re not made of sugar, you’ll not melt” if we complained about the rain.
“Last time I looked I wasn’t your pal’s mother so her rules don’t apply here” for complaining about *everyone* except me being allowed to do something. |

When ever I wasn’t allowed to do something like stay up late or go to a friends house or something other members of the family were doing, I would exclaim,
‘That’s not fair’.
The reply would always be,
‘Whoever told you life was fair , was lying’. |

It was "bread and wish-it" for us, i.e you'd have to imagine the food 
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try and try again." Three more tries after the first failure...
"Are you the Lord Almighty? No? When seems like you were born in a stable"
"Looks like Blackpool Illuminations in here"
"S/he is several sandwiches short of a picnic" |
