Funny the things i hear from people, like in Liverpool instead of saying never they say, when the liber birds fly away!, or ,When Nelson finds his eye!. if you can add, please do so xx

Hi Amanda, I know this isn't about what people say because they come from certain places, but my other half works with a lady who is always mixing her phrases up and yet you can still tell what she means - for example - the other day she said 'Ooh, you want to knock that in the bud' which is a cross between knocking it on the head and nipping it in the bud. She has also said 'She could pin the hind leg off a donkey!'. She does it all the time without realising but she does cheer me up! Regards, Cherie

;) Hi cherie, love people like that, my nans just like that xx

A man I worked with used to get his sayings wrong and one day, after watching football, he said he had, 'A lump in his eye and a tear in his throat' which I loved. Lorrainex

Baron Elf - that might not have been a mistake bearing in mind he was in a football ground - he might have meant tear as in rip! Tee hee, love that though!
