God willing and the crick don't rise   - Meaning if at all possible (crick is how we say creek in the south    ).

[Dancing dolly]

I have really enjoyed reading the local expressions.
Here are some from my Liverpool, Irish, Mum.
 
Hands like shovels and feet like ferry boats.

A voice like a fog horn on the Mersey

So tight he wouldn't give you last night's Echo.

Dressed up like a dog's dinner.

Someone had a face that would frighten the cows.

A face so long it would trip them.

Muscles like knots in cotton.

Someone who was known as very light fingered.... He would take the eyes out of your head and come back and spit in the sockets.

Someone who was very happy was said to be like a dog with two tails or two d---s.

When I asked for anything she would say, "when Dick docks". I don't know who Dick was.

 I'll buy you two in case one makes you sick. or most annoying "I will knit you one."

When I didn't listen....I'll put you in a corner with your ears tied back. ...She never did.

By the way Dancing Dolly was part of a song she used to sing. I think it was a skipping rhyme.

Dancing Dolly had no sense,
She bought three eggs for eighteen pence,
The eggs were bad, Dolly went mad,
Pit, pat, pepper.

I've spent the afternoon with some very good friends, one of whom has recently had a new kitchen and bathroom installed. She is also having her front drive re-laid, so naturally enough we spoke about the cost of it all. She replied 'Hang the expense, throw the cat another kipper'    I haven't heard that for a very long time.

Mother25 - that's one of my husband's. 

We went to a play last week at our local theatre - the play was based in Lancashire in 1920s.
The young wife was about to give birth and after the interval when we returned to our seat, I automatically said 'Oh they've brought the bed down'.
Flashback to youth, when in our 2 up-2 down houses, the bed being brought downstairs meant serious illness or similar.

Yes indeed, heywood.  The only proper memory I have of my grand-dad is of an old man in bed in the corner of the front room. As he was only 42 years of age when he died, he obviously wasn't old at all, but he had cancer so I suppose that aged him, and I was only 3 myself 
When my mum burned her leg from sitting too close to the fire, the bed was brought down so she could rest as much as possible, as she still had 4 children to see to    As a child she had Infantile Paralysis (Polio) and had no feeling in the affected leg at all, hence she had no idea her leg was so badly burned 

[heywood]

oh...memories.
The front room became my grandad's bedroom but he was in his 80s then unlike your poor grandfather.

I could just hear neighbours saying,' they've had to bring the bed down..' when I saw that and obviously haven't thought of it for years.
