My kids think 'I'll swing for him' means only that 'I will punch him'.

I still refer to LPs and I call our youngest Trebus, after he'd looked it up on t'web he had to agree.

I had great admiration for Mr Trebus ( if we are talking about the same man ) and his story was really quite moving.

The jnr Stat's have been so indoctrinated they only talk about 'taping a programme' or 'watching a video'.
They are going to get soooo beaten up.

Back at school in the eighties, that saying really drove me nuts. Thinking about it, it still does as I have absolutely no idea what it means.

A woman of 25 at my work asked me what "ruddy nora" meant today. She has a tendency to say that about almost anything said in her direction though, so she mightn't be an accurate representation of those 2 generations below me.

Agree, his story was really quite moving and you could see how his life had become what it had, it painted a very sad tale of how we don't fully understand and don't properly treat mental health problems in this country.
However, when you have 21 year old who doesn't throw anything out because he's too f**king lazy and is happy to live in his own pizza boxes and takeaway containers I'm happy to describe him as a Trebus. I appreciate that I'm using the name in vain because our son has none of the dignity, fight and bottle, or experienced the real suffering of the original Mr Edmund Zygfryd Trebus

"Excuse me" seems to have disappeared, when someone wants to pass by you in a corridor, or shop, or station, Or anywhere, the phrase seems to have been replaced with "sorry". ****ing ignorant *****

I thought a generation was around every 7 years!
I feel about 108 at the minute though. Like the sorry and always maladious Nicholas Witchell.

We used to say " chin rub " to a good mate if we knew they were lying, if someone was lying but we didn't want to offend them, we would just rub our chin.
I should imagine different schools had different terms for this.

Maybe it's because I am getting older but there are more moments where I find myself asking "where the f*@k has my life gone?" A little research reveals Mr Trebus died in 2002, I can not believe it is 12 years since his passing. Seems like just a few years but even the great John Peel ( his voice over helped make the programme) has been gone 10 years now.
