Mine tend to be

"fair to middling" when asked how I am
"No Worries" when someone appologises
"Bollwicks" instead of Bollocks when i do things wrong (use this most of time TBH)

From 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum', the BSM's sympathetic phrase whenever anyone had a complaint:

Oh Dear, What a Pity, Never Mind :yawn:

Starting to use it to excess with some of the moaning buggers I work with.......

When asked a question which is clearly going to garner a response in the affirmative, I will often say 'Are The Kennedys gun-shy?' or 'Is Salman Rushdie ex-directory?'

I also like to blurt 'that's got more head than the Elephant Man!' when offered a badly poured pint.

Only people of a certain age seemed to be amused by these.

Another on the same line is " Is the Pope Catholic?"

My fave saying is a corruption of that..." Does the pope shit in the woods? "
 










"my Gran could have done better/done that/scored from that distance, and she's brown bread"

"we" when talking to people I want to work for me. I say "we need to get that done in this way" etc. I think it re-inforces the idea that I am holding them responsible.

"you're having a bubble", the obvious cockernee rhyming jaunty slang which everyone loves.
