Was talking to my folks about shite they would say or do to make us behave growing up

“If you don’t pack it in, I’ll call the cruelty man”

No idea who or what this geezer would do but there was no way I was finding out,  I reckon a pulp fiction basement scene.

Threatened with Borstal on a weekly basis despite not knowing what it was.

Told mine that spiders lay eggs in any clothes that are left on the floor for longer than 5 minutes, but that washing baskets make them die.

If your kids are arachnophobes, they’ll be tidy.

Wishful thinking? 

She fell for it for about 18 months. Told her it only had Five Live and Radio 4, so I didn't have to listen to the shite music she was into then.

She was talking to her mum in her car and asked why dad's car couldn't play music.

Got told If you stick your head out of the car window you'll get cerebral palsy

Close to the truth this one. Known as ‘wagon drivers disease’, Bell’s Palsy is a bit of an arse. I got it by riding a bike to work (I think) and all the muscles in the left side of my face dropped. Looked like I was having a stroke. Took lots of antibiotic stuff and all returned to normal after 4 or 5 weeks.

I know a lad who got it about 30 years ago and it never went back.
