    Not a saying as such but a comment passed in my local pub.. This guy had returned from the Gulf after spending a good few years there working in construction in the oil Wells.

    An argument arose between himself and a young lad about welding or something in that line

    Any how the older lad quipped :
    ffs will you f.o. and don't annoying me, I was building Baghdad when you were still in your father's bag.

    There was an old saying about planting potatoes ones you could fire a shot through an ash tree that it wasn't in full leaf you could still plant potatoes, goes something like that I think.

    In the good old days when I was doing a bit of driving of a silage contractor, back in the day when you could be in a place for a Couple of days (or a week depending on the weather and breakdowns!! ) and you would be fed by the farmers wife.

    The boss would always say after wolfing down his food "Come on fellas, tis lunch time not lunch hour"
