I have never heard of this saying before, is it something that is an English saying or what? I do remember my mother and father when I was young and I ran down the road, they alway shouted be careful or you'll trip over your own feet!! Betty |

Not heard that one before. My Mum used to say 'Bread and Dripping' - Somerset/Devon. My Husband's Mum (Maidenhead/High Wycombe) used to say 'Ifits and Fried Snowballs' - he still says it to this day. Kaye x |

Me and my OH were discussing this the other day and having a good giggle about it. When we were kids and we used to ask our Mums what was for tea, their reply would quite often be.....sh*t with sugar on! LOL. Did anyone elses Mum say this or is it just a Hull thing? And where did it come from? Jeanette x |
