Old fashioned expressions you still use.

Thanks Urm I realise now you are right. I’ll let DH continue saying it. ?

I was just reading yesterday this list of 50 phrases that are at risk of being lost to the British Language:

www.itv.com/news/2022-01-26/the-50-saying-at-risk-of-being-lost-from-our-language-and-what-they-mean?fbclid=IwAR0fNcMNYzvJ1gFJWOWT7QI81oCV0r1PX4vnKQNWYIkZbo85ADp_dCAJw2Q

I certainly still use several of them (but then I'm old!)

NanKate it should be ‘best bib and tucker’ which meant one’s best clothes - not a ‘bib’ as we know it nowadays to protect clothes from spills.

Wireless not radio. Spuds not potatoes.

Thanks Kim and Kate of course it is Gordon Bennett. ??When I hear my half Italian niece say it with an accent it really amuses me.

Is it Gordon Bennet NanKate? We say that. Also I'm always 'Going to the foot of our stairs'.
We use loads of old expressions. We also go to 'the pictures' to see a film, not the cinema to watch a movie.

Gordon Bennett?

One that dds and I nicked from the BBC Pride and Prejudice (Lady Catherine) was, This is all extremely vexing!’
We still say it.
