What don't you hear anymore?
During a meeting last week, while discussing a problem, the Boss said we've got "Hobson's Choice", I was staggered by the amount of people around the table who didn't know what he meant! 
Catch 22!  |

Where's all the white dog shit gone.
White dog shit disappeared that long ago that the comment, "where has all the white dog shit gone" is now dying out.
You used to be able to draw on the pavement and whiten plimsolls with that shit. |

I worked in a very ‘multi culti’ Office in Luton and during a meeting I said “let’s not throw baby out with the bath water “. Silence, they just didn’t get it . I attempted to explain which just seemed to confuse them even more. |

‘Chock a block’ an old naval term meaning jammed up
and at school whilst hearing a tall tale, to be accompanied by stroking of the chin - ‘Jimmy hill’ |

No. My mum said calender. She was referring to me running around the house like a blue-arsed fly (another of her sayungs). |

What did your last servant die of?
And when we asked what was for dinner we were often told "poke in the eye with a sharp stick" if we were doing Mami's head in, "bread and dripping" if we were having Chinese.
Tap water was also referred to as council pop.
