Re: Guitars in the boot

general Brit sayings;

not the brightest spark....

a Welsh one...I ti'yn twp?             frenetically; ee teen twp? meaning; are you stupid?

one i'd heard in High Wycombe for the first time; hold the bus.

the tickling gap....the space between the top of her stockings and the hem of her knickers. cos when you reach there....your laughing!

my 2 oldest sons managed to break just about every ornament in the house, so their favourite saying was...it's OK daddy'll fix it. there was a time i had  a glue to fix most things.

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Guitars in the boot

Here in Mass. , we have "Package Stores". The name for liquor stores. Not just slang. The signs actually say package store on them.
