He also responded to requests of “where’s the xxx” with “upstairs in Annie’s room, behind the clock “.

My granny used to say It’s enough to make a monkey bite its mother, when things made her cross!

Oh, you'd laugh to see a puddin' crawl!

I wonder why people in the past made up so many silly or funny or sarcastic sayings?
The trend seems to have really died out now doesn’t it?

Yep.
Its as rare as hens teeth (or rocking horse sh*t)

A bad workman always his blames his tools is one you rately hear now for someone who isn't doing their job properly and blames their equipment. Mind you, some of the useless equipment I've worked with over the years would make this saying invalid.

If you remember the early series of Grange Hill, you'll probably know expressions like nutjob and div that are never heard much now.

Yes, and even words we used at school are obsolete now.
A basher was soneone who always did their homework and was generally a good pupil.

I still say pillock, though.

Admittedly it's a few years ago (10+) but some young lads were walking on the other side of the road to me. One shouted "Hey, specky four-eyes!" I responded with "I haven’t heard that since I was your age!"

No idea where this came from. Mum was very much an Eastender.

Recently, I have started watching ' classic Neighbours' on tv, I first watched this back in 1985, but missed the first few episodes. When I came to the one where I remembered, I told my AC that this was 'where I came in'. They did not know what I was talking about - this was a common phrase back in the day when we went into cinemas, often halfway through the showing of the main feature. and then left when we reached the point where we had 'come in'.

In fine fettle.

Crikey, even I haven't heard this in yonks (yonks - another one possibly).
