I've just been out with my friend, who has a great line in chat. She used one of my granny's sayings when bemoaning her recent spell of bad luck.
" If there was an egg short in the rations, I'd get it".
A couple of others;
" Nae sense in wasting two hooses"
( If two unattractive people decided to marry)
" The fox is an eejit compared to him/her"
( When talking about a sly person)
What sayings do others remember?
Anyone else too wet for seed potatoes?
