Nope, my Mum definitely never said it and I've not even heard the expression before. My Nan's language was far more colourful though, so it could well have been something she said (must ask my Mum tomorrow lol!). Mandy :)

I'm a Moonraker by birth and we were told s%%t with sugar on. These days I get lashings of tongue pie and cold shoulder!

Used in Bedfordshire too! LOL I can remember my Mum saying it. And pullit was always - 'pull it to see how far it stretches' to us. A favourite saying of my great aunt's when asked the same question was 'Cat's c**k and onions' or 'Dog's d**k and dumplings' (very refined woman my great aunt LOL) Mags xx

My Mum used to say bread & pullit (out of the cupboard Lol) or wait and see pie. Julie x

Jeanette My aunty used to say Sh*t with sugar on and my mum (who was a little more refined - LOL!) used to say 'a jump up the cupboard door and a bite off the latch'. Another one was - 'a square meal' and when anyone asked what that meant she said - an oxo cube of course. And another of my aunty's was ' a photograph of a bowl of soup' LOL! I say we are having 'iffits' when I don't know what to buy so we have whatever is in the freezer. Lynne PS: I am from Manchester so it's not just a Hull thing.
