daft sayings

I've heard some funny sayings since coming to live in Wales such as: " who's coat is that jacket?" and "I'll be there now in a minute"
But my DH has some great ones from Worcestershire where he is from, he says "nobody will stop their horse to look at that" when he sees I'm undecided about something, but the best one is when he visits the loo, he says " I'm off to turn my bike around" grin
Any other regional daftness?

Nesh - for a sickly type who feels the cold easily. If someone doesn't believe or understand what you've just said in the East Midlands the traditional response was ,"a-^were^" with the emphasis very much on the second syllable which would be drawn out - I've never heard this anywhere else. In this case you'd also look at the speaker 'gone-out.'
