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".

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.
