Also,one that always reminds me of Mum - said under your breath when you see a sight for sore eyes - "the things you see when you haven't got a gun". We used it more than once for our fellow shoppers at Bluewater yesterday
Here In the west country an old saying my Great grandmother use to say was ,as long as there is a patch of sky big enough to make a pair of sailors trousers the day would be fine,9 times out of ten she was right! and fine at seven gone by 11,bad at seven fine by 11,and that to is nearly always right too! I like sayings.

"See a pin and pick it up and all the day you,ll have good luck,
