Something My Own Granny Used to say (0/0 people found this helpful)
I just ordered this book -so I haven't yet read it. I do remember some of my Scott's grandma's sayings. When my friends & I were playing noisily inside she would eventually say" Haud your wheesht...my brain's like train oil" This was a reference to the oil in the wheels of the old steam trains & I've always felt it is extremely accurate in describing the condition of one's brain when discordant noise overwhelms your ability to think.
All the Promotion Scottish Grannies Will Ever Need (4/4 people found this helpful)
Another very enjoyable volume by Allan Morrison. If you are familiar with his unique brand of wit and wisdom, you will not be disappointed. A whole lots of smiles packed between two covers. Makes me sad my own Scottish Grannie passed away before I could meet her but, with the examples in this book, I can imagine her in full verbal swing & vivid detail.
