My mother regularly used to say "You will go up that brae" before the police station turned into that monstrosity. Another regular was "You will drive me up that road" meaning to Lochgilphead hospital. Neither happened, maybe we were not that bad after all. :)

Had to reply to this one, smee!

My dad always had another line at the start of this -

If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight
How many apples, etc

If it takes a man a week to walk a fortnight, how long would it take a man with a wooden leg to push a tattie scone to Perth wi' his nose?
