My Gran would say "Get off my neck - my collar cost me fourpence" if she saw a couple kissing on TV.
Also "Looks like you've lost your appetite and found a donkeys" and "God bless your Derby Kelly" when I used to enjoy her brilliant cooking.
Happy memories |

If wishes were fishes there'd be no room for water.
Heads I win, tails you lose. Got an encyclopaedia with them in and also the Penguin book of Idioms. Some interesting phrases in there.
