Sayings from back in the day you rarely hear...

My dad used to refer to the Halifax Building Society in Port Talbot as the rowing boat club.

Because your money went "in, out, in, out".

Still on the subject of money, my grandfather always used to recommend investing in "savings sirstificates".

Two from my childhood.

"It's by there"

"Putsy" meaning easy as in "jumping across the reen is putsy"

Actually I don't think I've heard "reen" since the 1970s.

Asking the taxi driver after a night out the two opening questions as is the norm .
Busy night followed by and what time your shift end then , they must be really fed up with that conversation .

Cheers driv after getting off the bus after getting to your stop safely . seems not a common practise elsewhere .

My old neighbour way back in the day asking me to run down to the Corner shop and get a pack of 10 fags .
Woodbine no filters he called them , get me some lung busters in jest in them days I assumed wrongly .

My Nan used to call the kitchen of her two bed Victorian terrace "the scullery" which I always thought was weird.

My grandmother and her siblings all called it the scullery too.
