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!

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

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
