"I didn't come over on the boat yesterday" We lived in liverpool and think she was referring to the Irish! Apologies!

My Mum used to say a lot of things but a couple I remember particularly are
‘You’re a long time dead’ i.e. enjoy yourself whilst you can and
‘If you can’t say anything good about someone, don’t say anything at all’
Pretty cluey some of the older ones .
