A phrase my mum used was "this will hurt me more than you". What a load of rubbish as it never did !!

When asking my dad where he was going, his reply was always "Nutting down the Rudge". Dad was born in Coventry and never lived anywhere else, so I presume the "Rudge" is somewhere local? The phrase I always remember my mum saying was when the sky was full of dark rain clouds, she would say "It's black over Bill's mother's". Always wondered whom Bill was. I am sure there shall be more that I shall remember now that my mind is in gear!
The Rudge was the cycle works I believe in Spon Street later the GEC.

Does anyone else remember the phrase "bus load from Beduff"? Usually used when a lot of people suddenly turn up out of the blue.

I only recall that phrase being used once, by a housemaster, but prefaced by "I'm not one of those who says ...." before publicly caning a boy.

Oooo, don't remind me'. One black look from my father was enough for me. My mouth was padlocked for the rest of the day. Angry
