I was “Pulled into line” by G.A. on a certain Post.
He ended up, by stating the following, which I found most interesting, and would like to hear other such sayings, and their meanings.
G.A. stated, ” All Trout are fish, but not all fish are Trout”.I knew what he meant, but do you?.;)

One of Mrs C’s favourites (usually in reference to a horrible sound, smell etc.) “that would bring tears to a glass eye.”
One of my favourites is my mother’s way of criticising me or others for repeated lateness. ” You’ll be late for your own funeral.”

The first simply means do any of you have any on you? Most often said when asking a group if they had cigarettes or sweets.
The third is a mild reproach offered when anyone has upset you or done something particularly stupid.
The fifth means exactly the same as the fourth, it’s just another way of saying that you don’t know whether you’re coming or going.
Another I’ve just thought of, possibly particularly appropriate on Eurovision night is ‘Er’s gorra voice like a glead under a dooer.’

Ah! Yes, you should have!!;);) Now we have got the message…………
By: Lincoln 7 - 14th May 2011 at 17:13
PeeDee and Sky High. I got the message from G.A. and I think we have a few crossed wires, or I should have made my request clearer.
What I am after, and there are or must be loads, eg. “You can’t have your cake and eat it as well”.
“Put a bit of wood in the hole”…………ie, shut the door.etc, there must be loads of sayings from different regions in the U.K.
Cheers.
Jim.

Houses are buildings but not all buildings are houses
Hedgehogs are animals but not all animals are hedgehogs
Fords are cars but not all cars are Fords
Daisies are flowers but not all flowers are daisies
Butter is food but not all food is butter
etc etc etc…..

All offensive words are writing, but not all writing is offensive words.
All Lancasters are Bombers, not all Bombers are Lancasters.
I KNOW NOT ALL LANC’S WEREN’T BOMBERS, before ya start!! But they were built as such.

It applies to almost anything you care to use, doesn’t it? I remember the phrase being used when I was at school.
By: Lincoln 7 - 14th May 2011 at 11:34
Err – yes, Linc….:confused::)
Good Morning Pete, I am sure a man of your mature age 😉 can think of a few to “Add to my collection” if I can get enough, it may well be worth putting them into print. 🙂
