We used to say:

2 ounces of sherbet pips and 2 ounces of rainbow crystals, please.

Five pence-worth of chips, and bits on 'em please.

(Not in the same shop! )

Things we used to sing!

Hitler has only got one ball,
Goering has two but very small
Himmler
Has something simmler
But poor old Goebels has no balls at all.

I think it was their mothers who used that code when discussing young debs' delights who would be invited to balls and parties when said young ladies 'came out'.

We said they were in the WH brigade - wandering hands. I believe that the twenties Bright Young Things had a category of men who were NSIT - not safe in taxis.

Never heard that one before

Desert Disease - wandering palms.

"Good evening England, this is Gillie Potter, speaking to you in English..."

"Down n the Jungle,
Living in a tent -
Better than a pre-fab,
No Rent!"

"Not a word to Bessie..."

"Good mornin' sir. Was there something?"

Girls who smoked in public were "cheap" and none of us wanted to be called cheap.
"Desert Disease" referred to those boys who had wandering hands, and somehow word went round like magic about them, too!

She's on the shelf!

He was 'palatic' drunk!

"What's that got to do with the price of fish"

If our flies were undone we were told we "had egg on our chin"

My grandmother described someone as a 'Champagne Charlie'. I loved that, when I asked for an explanation. Except I didn't realise until later that she was referring to my father... One day I heard her discussing someone with my mother as being 'all fur coat and no knickers'. I told my mother later that Grandma was wrong, I had never seen Mrs. in a fur coat. I was banned from the kitchen when Grandma was staying after that for quite some years.

She's living over the brush with her fancy man and they're getting all their furniture on the never never.
Live now pay later.

We used to say did you hear about the girl with the beehive hairdo who died because there were insects nesting and living in her hair? Some girls never washed their hair, and kept the beehive stiff with sugar water...

Here, either party to a 'living in sin' relationship was deemed to be a 'bidey-in'.

At the housing warming party for my DD and her partner someone* sang

Bless this house Oh Lord we pray
Make it safe by night and day
Bless the people here within
Keep them safe as they live in sin.

*Actually it was me

ummlilia" Living without benefit of clergy" was an alternative to that.

'they're livin' over the brush' (said behind your hand in a whisper as you watch the scandalous unmarried couple pass by)

she's no better than she ought to be

Charlie's dead ( another one for slip showing..never knew who charlie was!)

He has a DA. (Duck's arse hairstyle).
Friday night is Amami wave set night.
He is a sagger maker's bottom knocker (occupation on What's My Line?).

Darning socks

Bob 'a Job week

When I go out to tea
I know what to take
First a piece of bread and butter
Then a piece of cake

Teenage Separates - I sold them in John Lewis's.
